Some time ago, I thought I'd change my Fedora related mail address to
the above.  Bad idea, the system no longer knew where to send mail, and
wasn't helpful enough to prevent me from doing the change in the first
place.

Unfortunately after changing my account in Bugzilla to the above,
Bugzilla no longer let me change it back, and I lost my Fedora
permission bits there too.  I changed the address back in the accounts
system, posted an OTRS ticket [1] asking for help.  But much before
anyone reacted (it took two weeks until someone closed it after doing
nothing :(), something (maybe the accounts system? dunno), magically
created a *new* Bugzilla account for my "old" email address - the one
I'm posting this from - and added my old permissions to it.  So I can
use stuff again, but the old Bugzilla account now known as scop at
fedoraproject.org persists.

I'm pretty sure there's nothing I can do about the above case, but FWIW,
you can assume scop at fedoraproject.org equals ville.skytta at iki.fi.
