Greg Stein commented on WHIMSY-402:
-----------------------------------
And if I set my GitHub username to "johndoe" in Whimsy, what then?
Repeat: the LDAP field is not used. It does not correspond to the account
linkage used by gitbox.
> remove "GitHub username" from details page

> Project: Whimsy
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Roster
> Reporter: Greg Stein
> Priority: Minor
>
> The GitHub username is no longer used by Infrastructure processes. The
> linkage between LDAP accounts and GitHub usernames is contained within the
> gitbox service. LDAP is not used as a storage mechanism for that linkage.
> As a result, I believe the field is obsolete and (worse) potentially
> confusing with the account *actually* linked to an LDAP account. I think it
> should be removed from the UI. (and eventually from LDAP, but that's
> orthogonal)
