Well, it's a matter of personal taste I guess. Instead of asking
directly and letting DebConf team know via Cc:, I've opted for
discussing the matter first with DebConf team and only in the end come
to FFIS with a consensual decision asking to act.
FWIW, the two of them have already agreed to merge the accounts.

I've made a poor choice of words above. "account" was not meant to be a
synonym of "login", but rather "account" in the bank sense, as in
"savings account". So what I meant above was that it would be handier
if we could see the total amount of savings in a single table, instead
of having to check 2 distinct tables and sum up money.
I understand it seems just a minor annoyance, but trust me: when you
already have several trusted organizations around the world to check,
adding an extra fork in even one of them is a bit of a PITA.

Absolutely agreed, and thanks for doing that.

Well, barring disagreement from others, it seems to me that the initial
proposal of doing the merge is very simple.
Cheers.
