I'm the author/maintainer of Net::Twitter, the perl library for the Twitter API. I have an account, @net_twitter, I use to communicate with the users of the Net::Twitter module. Several times (most recently, today), the account has been reverted to its state on or about May 30, 2009.
I'm posting here in hopes of getting the attention of someone at Twitter who can help. I've reported the problem to Twitter support each time it has occurred, but it always gets handled as a forgotten password issue, which it is not. The handling seems to be almost entirely automated, so I'm not sure anyone has actually read the details of my reports to support. The original author/maintainer of Net::Twitter is Chris Thompson. He established the @net_twitter account. When I rewrote the Net::Twitter module, and Chris handed off maintenance of the Net::Twitter namespace to me, he also changed the password of the @net_twitter account and handed it off to me. I changed the associated email address, password, url, and other settings. But every few weeks, Twitter reverts the account to the values it had back in May. That happened again, today, for at least 4th time. In order to regain access to the account, I have to contact Chris each time this happens and have him reset the password. Then I change the email address, password, url, etc. all over, again. The password reset isn't useful to me, since it doesn't send mail to the address I saved in settings---it's sent to the address Chris Thompson had set back in May. What's causing the account reversion? Can it be fixed? Twitter, please contact me.
