Bug Description

From answer https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/launchpad-registry/+question/75193
=====
~shunan's email address was used for the ~maldicore team's contact address, now he does not own his own email address.

We need to update the email table transfer <email address hidden> to ~shunan.He will have to use a the password reset link from the login screen to verify the address is his and set it to preferred.
=====
<sinzui> spm, you wont see the error, we hide it in the UI, so the use has no clue that his email address is still held by the team. I saw the address there when the user reported the issue, another user tried to help, only succeeding in hiding the problem

Hmm. Am not sure I fully appreciate the problem here. So in an attempt tp rephrase:

~shunan apparently has 2 emails associated with theirself.
1. obviously personal as per the home page
2. related to the team in question

The 1st has status 4 on the emailaddress; the 2nd has status 2.

AIUI, we can simply delete the undesirable email address from the emailaddress table. Identifiable by:
select * from emailaddress where person = (select id from person where name = 'maldicore');

???
====

We now have a total of 3 of these waiting to be fixed. The above.
