This bug is implicitly fixed when we fix bug 960493 because this token was left behind my a successful merge.

This is actually a regression that breaks self-service merges of some unactivated accounts. See OOPS-d75371b4ac042f74db8ac30ce3f8e4b8 for a recent example.

sendMergeRequestEmail does this:

        dupe = getUtility(IPersonSet).getByEmail(self.email)
        replacements = {'dupename': "%s (%s)" % (dupe.displayname, dupe.name),

But PersonSet.getByEmail was recently fixed to by default exclude NEW email addresses, and unactivated accounts' email addresses are NEW. So this fails to find a person. The issue and proper fix are covered by bug #1014917. We should perhaps for now change that getByEmail call to say filter_status=False.

Admins can work around this by manually setting the account to Active on +reviewaccount, and doing the merge through https://launchpad.net/people/+adminpeoplemerge after verifying ownership.

Lets allow merge to work with new addresses for the case of merge only.
