Hi - sorry for the trouble. Your savannah account is entirely independent of mailing list subscriptions. Mailing lists can be (un)subscribed through the mailman web (or email) interface at, for example, https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-wget. There is no interface on savannah itself for this.

Anyway, you were subscribed (under this islaind address) to four lists: autoconf, bug-wget, lilypond-user, mingw-cross-env-list. I have manually unsubscribed you from all four.

I did nothing about your savannah account, but at least you won't get more email from those lists. Sorry about your troubles recovering access; that's beyond my purview ... --best, karl.

As of a month ago I started getting emails from a list (wget) I have unsubscribed in a long and very difficult procedure which occassionally revived my subscription.

I tried to login and check my settings.

Problem 1: what's my username????? I know my email but can't remember my username. Eventually I tried various things and something finally worked.

Problem 2: my password does not work. I have never changed it.

Problem 3: fine, I will request a "password reset hash". One indeed was sent to my email address but it did not work when I clicked on it (virtually 5 mins after receipt of email). I asked for a re-sent, I had to wait for 1 hour, got sidetracked and forgot about it until I reveive more emails from mailing lists I used to subscribe.

Problem 4: After a week from last attempt I am trying again to reset password and eventually login and cancel all my subscriptions. This time I have not received any email although it says it sent one. And asking for re-sent gets me to wait-for-an-hour thingy.

I think the best thing for me right now is to ERASE my account and when I need to subscribe to a mailing list I will create a new one. It's a bit of a burden to your system but it's the most robust way for dealing with database crashes (and restore).

Question: How can I proceed?

p.s. I really like that I do not see "login using facebook or github or google account". That's great and would expect nothing less from the FSF and GNU. So, this is not a critique of that. I have no critique about the service you are running except one: make username the same as email if possible.
