I think the same capability (of having an account used by a non-human to read and write to launchpad) is needed by plenty of people outside of launchpad (anyone using Tarmac), so a single celebrity user sounds like a solution that would not solve this problem for everyone. > I suspect there'd be plenty of room for abuse and UI weirdness, so we'd want > to think about how and whether and when to use something like this.

It's unclear to me whether this is best modeled as a full blown Person/Account or whether extending the auth token system is the way to go. -- Elliot Murphy | https://launchpad.net/~statik/ _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : launchpad-dev@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
