I'm just puzzled that it seems to be too hard or unwanted to bring back mail integration. Surely those advocates are part of the process too? > I went to > https://wiki.debian.org/DebianSingleSignOn#Debian_SSO_documentation.

I dont want one neither. So, no cert and no login? Seems so, sigh, I just logged into sso.debian.org with my sso password and it tells me I should get a new certificate. I dont want too, sorry. Clicked the "get cert" link now, which somehow said it installed it in my browser and that I should keep a backup of it, without telling where it lives… more sigh. how should I backup this thing? going to nm.d.o now shows me i'm logged in. just https://nm.debian.org/public/processes doesnt show Tom Marble and i'm tiredly giving up, sorry Tom. Guess I will keep advocating people via mail and ignore this web stuff, sorry to the people who spent time on it. Seems to work for some people well, but I'm not amongst them. -- cheers, Holger
