There's a bug in the site. It should be able to know, once you're logged in, that you already have an entry in the system, and just tell you to tell your advocates to click the right link. However, until very recently, we did not have a mapping to Alioth SSO usernames for site entries: existing DMs on the site lack this mapping. So you log in, but the site still isn't able to see who you are. I need to dedicate a few hours to do evil incantations to map site entries to alioth accounts for people who are already DMs. There is no quick&dirty way of doing it, and I'll have to be creative and evil and careful. For the records, we have 591 entries that need mapping to SSO alioth accounts. I have ideas for euristics, luckily: time is more of an issue.
