             Bug #: 39817
           Summary: Migrate to SUL all easy accounts
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: master
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: CentralAuth
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
                CC: [email protected], [email protected],

    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---


We've discussed a lot of times how to complete SUL migration but maybe we can
do it by steps: four years later, I still have to tell users to merge their
accounts even in trivial cases.
I think it should be too hard to unify all accounts which:
1) can be merged without user interaction (same username and email or password,
right?),
2) would not leave any unattached account around.

The only drawback I can imagine right now is the very remote case that a user,
even if there are no name conflicts, uses two or more local usernames on
different wikis and could be automatically logged in with the wrong username.
Nothing really bad would happen anyway.

Filing under CentralAuth because I suppose this require a script or so to be
written first?
