Did anyone else have trouble getting a fencepost.gnu.org account?

Did anyone else have trouble getting a fencepost.gnu.org account?

[Oleh Krehel]

Hi all,

I maintain a few packages in GNU ELPA (avy, ace-window, hydra, swiper)
and I'm getting contributions for them. It would be convenient for me to
be able to access /gd/gnuorg/copyright.list.

According to
https://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Papers.html, I've
sent a message to accounts@gnu.org requesting an account.  I got
auto-reply promising to a real reply in three working days, but that was
more than a month ago.

Do many people here have a fencepost account? Any trouble getting one?
Any alternative ways to look at the copyright list?

regards,
Oleh

Yes.

No, but that has been at least 10 years ago or so.  My experience would
not be relevant.

I don't know, probably not because of privacy reasons.  For people
having to vet contributions based on assignments, this is rather
important.  Maybe give another kick to accounts@gnu.org.

You can always ask here, or ask me or John off-list.

Please send them mail again.  Such a long delay suggests your message
got lost somehow.

Since it is the vacation, it could be that the response will take
longer.  But if you have got nothing by Jan 7, it means something 
is wrong, so please tell me.

Thank you, Richard, I've sent another email.  The ticket number is [gnu.org #1062437].
