Match Bugzilla usernames
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

This task is about providing a map between legacy Wikimedia Bugzilla usernames, and Wikimedia Phabricator usernames.

Approaches, from the best:

  1. probably somebody somewhere already has this info on their computer... are you aware? :D nope?
  2. scraping \o/ since Task authors probably already match
  3. crowdsourcing / secretary /
  4. or, just abandoning the ship as not-doable

Note about the point n.2: this may be useful:

We did this 10 years ago. Thus this ticket makes no sense.

Nice. Is that dataset available somewhere?

I don't think so - see also T847, T95266, T163581. What was there to match has been matched already.

Accounts were linked based on email addresses, there wasn't datasets per say.

If people added additional email addresses to their phab profile to match their previous email addresses, there was a cron script to update the actions that were assigned to bzimport.

Moreover, this is invalid, since the closerPHID is already known (sometime...). So, no need to look at Bugzilla.

I was super-somehow confused by the examples mentioned in the original description of T107254 (T2002 and T2007) that do not have the closer. But having no closer on a closed task is just an unfortunate desired situation: the related closer was probably not imported from Bugzilla (by the tasks mentioned by Aklapper) or, just none was really a closer.

Thanks for this epifania
