The email address is displayed for logged in users.  Yours is the one
starting with an @si one.  You no longer have access to that email
account?

Yes!  You have a prolific large number of bug tickets filed.  Thank
you for helping and contributing to GNU!  :-)

The task for us is to avoid falling for an identity theft.  And I am
sure that you would not be happy if someone tricked us into giving
them your account.

I see that you have a GPG key on file.

    Key fingerprint = 4477 7136 6D27 4982 8FD0  E683 0239 4166 8B0B F160

Can you send us a GPG signed message using that key?
