"BZUser1234" for the 1234th user migrated, or even better, if the user was "ro...@robla.net", "BZUser-robla-at-robla-net" (appending numbers to handle the one-in-a-million name clash). We then allow people to claim their BZ accounts. Having a unique token to search/replace would hopefully make it easier to clean things up after the fact.
One other suggestion: would it be possible to hack up a "WMF Bugzilla identity provider" that basically allows people to log in with their old bugzilla credentials? It wouldn't need to actually hit Bugzilla, but rather, could be just an implementation of the BZ password hash hitting a mostly static database table. If Phabricator doesn't support account merging now, we could potentially implement it down the road, and ask people to limp along with two accounts at first. Since the migration is (hopefully) happening very soon, I think it's a tough pill to swallow to say that the very small percentage of people who sign up for a Phabricator account now will have their metadata show up correctly, and everyone else will have something much kludgier. At a minimum, I think we'll probably need to commit to a one-time correction within a reasonably specific timeframe (e.g. 6 months) TASK DETAIL https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T572 REPLY HANDLER ACTIONS Reply to comment or attach files, or !close, !claim, !unsubscribe or !assign <username>.
