#1863 closed task (fixed)

Allow trac to notify yet-to-be-known OSGeo users

Description

As of Trac-1.2 upgrade (#1816) notifications are only possible toward users who are *known* by the specific trac instance. To be known, a user must log in at least once, ending in the trac "session" table as "authenticated".

This ticket is to evaluate whether to instead always lookup OSGeo usernames even if they never logged in, which is what we had before the upgrade (see #39).

Upstream discussion about this is here: https://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/12658#comment:31 A simple/short patch is available here: https://git.osgeo.org/gogs/strk/trac/commit/a72b9176f11b93629b4c96c93f131545d1b0e7b1
