2024-03-26 savannah-help-private 87sf0d67p0.fsf@yahoo.com: It was pointed out that raghunandan297 has 'real name' saying the account was compromized. The password was reset, and the email was changed from @gmail to @example.net, with notifying the admin of the only Savannah group the account was member of (gnucap). The admin silently removed the account from that group within a day. On 2024-04-01, the 'real name' was changed to say the account was disabled.

2024-01-05 savannah-help-public e1c4c469-7770-483b-8e01-6a155007944a@gmail.com The OP requests re-using user_name from account #74148 deleted before 2017 when user_names weren't cleared on deletion. An admin of Savannah removes the account using the new procedure (the [Delete] button). The account with name is re-registered within a few hours.
