There seems to be a bunch of "what's my Mango password?" tickets stalled in RT3. I'd like to know what I should answer the requestors. Is there a simple answer? I tried ssh -l menthos svn.gnome.org mango but it seems I'm not allowed to log into svn.gnome.org. Probably this is also the case for most people trying. Is there currently a way to retrieve one's password (I'm talking about users here; fortunately I know my own password). Furthermore, I found no instructions for Mango passwords on live.gnome.org, not even on http://live.gnome.org/Mango. The only piece of instructions ever seems to be http://blogs.gnome.org/ovitters/2007/09/26/sneak-preview-of-mango/ and http://blogs.gnome.org/ovitters/2007/09/29/mango-gone-live/ and the above mail, only findable with Google and GMail skills, and containing instructions that currently do not work...
