fungiJayF: tonyb: clarkb: right now the election tooling runs entirely on anonymous api queries, no accounts needed on any systems to run those scripts. adding an account permission to give access to secondary addresses would be a fairly big regression. on the other hand i don't think it's going to exclude any candidates, we already work with them to fix their candidacies if they use an address01:27
fungithat's not tied to their foundation profile, and this wouldn't likely add much if any further load to that01:27
fungiodds are 99% of ptl candidates already use their preferred gerrit address in their candidacy anyway01:29
*** blarnath is now known as d34dh0r5315:00
spotz[m]I think we ran into it with a few PTL candidates  last year, not sure if voters were affected15:17
fungivoters wouldn't be, because we generate the list of voters from gerrit preferred addresses, and this is entirely about gerrit secondary addresses15:22
fungiwe only perform gerrit address lookups when confirming nominations15:23
clarkbfungi: ah that seems liek a non issue then16:06
fungiyeah, basically if someone submits a nomination with a secondary gerrit address it will fail where it might have succeeded in past cycles, but 1. that's probably a very small number of candidates and 2. the validation jobs will clearly show the query performed with the supplied address and what the result was17:18
tonybfungi: I agree.  There would need to be a more compelling reason to add a special account for this.  I think it'll basically be a docs/process update19:29
-opendevstatus- NOTICE: The Gerrit service on review.opendev.org will be restarting momentarily for a patch update to address a recently observed regression preventing some changes from merging21:10
