Please provide the ability to merge user accounts.

The need to do that might arise from various situations.

user opens second account and later asks for a merge
problem during a system or Django or Askbot migration
an authentication method is removed, a password is lost

It is possible to do by running: python manage.py merge_users <from_id> <to_id>

There could be a feature though to merge users from the UI.
