RFE: add mechanism to reclaim IRC nick #321

Closed edsantiago closed 1 year ago

edsantiago commented 3 years ago

It looks like the fedmsg service has migrated to Libera. I am now receiving a flood of unexpected messages, almost certainly because my Libera nick (esm) != my Freenode one (edsantiago). I would like to claim the esm nick, but when I try, fedmsg gripes with a JSONy reason": "That value is already claimed.".

Suggestion 1 (easy): when transferring to new IRC provider, wipe all existing nick mappings.

Suggestion 2 (harder): don't reject attempts to add a nick, just go through the verification mechanism. If I can verify my nick, you should add it to my FAS account, and remove that mapping from whoever currently has it.

Suggestion 3 (probably even harder): allow mappings for multiple IRC networks.

ping, what is the status of this?

The FMN rewrite is almost complete. This issue was reported against the old version of FMN, and likely does not apply anymore.

Closing, but reopen if you feel this still applies.
