For people who aren't on the asf infra mailing list, here's their announcement about a prune of all the low-use JIRA accounts. This is above and beyond the lockdown of new account creation requests. LDAP == any asf committer on any project.
----- From: Chris Lambertus <c...@apache.org> Date: 26 April 2023 at 21:10:39 BST To: annou...@infra.apache.org Subject: [ANNOUNCE] Jira Account Cleanup for Non-ASF Users Reply-To: us...@infra.apache.org Hi folks, Effective immediately, Infra will be performing general cleanup operations on our Jira user base. Due to licensing changes required by Atlassian, our active license count must be reduced to around 20,000 active users, including the approximately 8000 ASF LDAP users. Our Jira instance currently has 250,044 active users, the vast majority of whom are external (non-LDAP). Infra is taking a multi-pronged approach to reducing our active license count: 1. All accounts which have no activity (never reported, created, commented on, or were assigned to a ticket) have been removed. 2. All accounts with no known activity for the last two years will be marked "inactive." 3. All accounts who have minimal activity (reported a small number of issues, or made a small number of comments) will be marked "inactive." Any account marked "inactive" will be unable to log in to Jira, and the owner must contact Infra to have their account re-activated. [1] All data associated with a de-activated account remains in place,; we are not removing any issues/comments/metadata/etc. Important note: All of the steps above only target external users. We are not applying them to LDAP users. If you have an external (non-LDAP) Jira account matching any of the above criteria, your external account MAY be marked as inactive. If this happens, please use your LDAP account to log in to Jira and open an Infra Jira ticket requesting that we merge your LDAP and external accounts. [1] We will provide a form de-activated external users can use to re-activate their account, should they choose to do so. The form will be available from the Jira banner when it is ready. -Chris ASF Infra
