In Mailman3, users cannot change their display name from the web
Open, MediumPublic

Description

It is apparently not possible to change the "display name" you pick when subscribing to a mailing list in the Mailman3 web UI.

https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/message/OQ7IMAELJA6V2KRSRVWTJVP6JXTXJYIB/ somewhat explains how display names work in MM3 and is a mostly related https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/-/issues/451 upstream ticket.

Event Timeline

Marostegui removed a project: SRE.

@Marostegui: There's not much point in removing SRE because there are Herald/Maintenance_bot rules in place. If you want to change them please file a ticket

Yeah, talked to @Ladsgroup earlier today to change the bot.

For reference, the query to fix someone's display name manually is UPDATE address set display_name="<name>" where email="<email>" limit 1;
