Someone has asked us to merge one of your Launchpad
accounts with another.
If you go ahead, this will merge the account called
'Debian Python Modules Team (debian-python)' into the account 'johnfrandes12'.
To confirm you want to do this, please follow

This looks extremely fishy - and I also wonder why someone used a public mailing list address to register a Launchpad account?

Hi,
FYI: This message got delivered at the public mailing list >>debian-python@lists.debian.org. To me it looks like someone if trying to find
a loophole in launchpad and plans to abuse the system.
Thanks for reaching out to them.
While at it, I'd also question why Canonical is scraping public repositories and creating user accounts for the scraped addresses.
Yes, I know why they do it, but for me, it is another example of bad collaboration practice, on top of everything else to be said about Ubuntu (or more precisely, its owners).
It's also small things that impose burdens on others, and if they think they need to fork Debian, copy packages from it (to put behind a paywall afterwards), then they certainly could do that without spoofing Debian people and team addresses.
Disclaimer: I am assuming good faith in this specific case, but not in Canonical and Ubuntu in general.
