THIS ITEM WAS REASSIGNED TO SR #109640
Some time ago I attempted to create an account with the username "eschwartz" and corresponding email address @archlinux.org -- but I did not receive the registration email on time, and never completed the registration. I've since found the registration email (having eventually arrived in my inbox), but the registration process requires my password in order to continue, which I never saved as I could not find a way to complete the registration...

I cannot try to recreate the account, since despite the assertion "Note that accounts that are not activated within the three days next to their registration are automatically deleted." any attempt to re-register the account tells me that the username and email address are currently in use (this is at a minimum 60 days later).

I cannot try to use the password recovery dialog, because that tells me that the username "does not exist or has not been activated".

I cannot try to activate the account, since I don't have the password to do so, and I cannot be sure that if I did, it would work, since the address for that -- https://savannah.gnu.org/account/verify.php?confirm_hash=${some_unique_hash} -- provides the account verification form no matter what correct hash or incorrect junk I insert as a hash value, so this may or may not still be valid in the backend at all.

This is essentially the same problem as https://savannah.nongnu.org/support/index.php?109630

Would it be possible to activate the account so that I can perform password recovery?
