All,
I've decided to take a different approach to restoring accounts on the
trac. I've deleted them all!
So all you need to do is register a new account. You can reuse your
previous username.
This might seem a bit radical but actually it should be easier for
people to re-register than to reset the passwords on existing
accounts. As Andres noticed, the email feature in the hackage trac
just does not work. I've spent a little while on a couple occasions
tring to find out why but with no luck (we seem to have exactly the
same config as the ghc trac which does work).
I have also enabled a captcha for account registration. So hopefully
that'll reduce the number of spammers registering accounts. (Deleting
all the accounts also got rid of the accounts spammers had already
registered).
I've added a note to this effect on the wiki front page, so hopefully
it'll be clear.

Hi.
Sorry for spamming the mailing list. But I've had trouble logging in to the Hackage/Cabal trac already before the trac was disabled; and now that it's back up, I still can't login. I can't find anywhere an email address where to report it, and I don't fully understand who (if anyone) is responsible, so I'm sending this here.
Could whoever has the permissions please reset my apparently existing account kosmikus? It doesn't seem to send me email when I click on password reminder, even though it claims to do so. Ideally, you'd also reset the mail address to either mail@andres-loeh.de or andres@well-typed.com. Thank you very much in advance.
Cheers, Andres
