Note, I just tested that at least simply importing and calling (with a correct kwarg) email2fas does work on my Rawhide desktop, at present. After a long time waiting for the FAS cache to be generated, it gives a correct result:

>>> email2fas('bcotton@redhat.com', fas_credentials={'username':'adamwill','password':'CENSORED'})
u'bcotton'
>>>

tried password recovery for my old fas username. put the username and email in, that i know worked in the past, and told that the email address password combo does not exist, so I can not reset or get in to my old fas login, which had earned a lot of badges and karma. I would like to get it back. Username is SteveEbey73701 and email used is eaglecomputers.ok@gmail.com

@sdebey73701 This is a different problem. You old account is steveebey73742

ok, will try recovery on that. I thought I changed it after my move.

Is this only on bugzilla messages? Perhaps it's an issue with the lookup there?

For example I see:

only Bugzilla (IIRC) actually needs email2fas. Most other systems already deal in Fedora usernames in the first place, after all. email2fas was mainly invented for Bugzilla because Bugzilla didn't use Fedora auth: all Bugzilla knows is the account's email address, it cannot know if there is a FAS account associated with that email address. So we get email addresses in the Bugzilla messages, and then the meta processor has to try and figure out FAS account names from them.

OK, so there are a couple other things that use it: mailman3, anitya, and pagure.

Anitya allows users to log in by other means than only FAS account, so this is probably why email2fas is used by it, but it's not necessary, if you don't use your FAS account you couldn't assume that you will be recognized by Anitya.

So, now that fas is retired, what does this mean here? Should we make a email2noggin replacement?

Probably? I think the bugzilla case probably still obtains. You can log into bugzilla using Fedora auth now, but I don't know if bugzilla messages include Fedora usernames for people who log in that way. If nothing else it'd be nice not to be publishing people's unobfuscated email addresses in bugzilla messages, I guess?

ok, so looks like we moved this function to talk to noggin/fasjson https://github.com/fedora-infra/fedmsg_meta_fedora_infrastructure/blob/develop/CHANGELOG.rst
and indeed, mailman, anitya and bugzilla2fedmsg all seem to be working to me.

@adamwill can you look and confirm? If so, we can close this...

this appears to be working now, closing as fixed

@adamwill feel free to reopen of course.
