Finally I wish to apologise for my disappointed tone, I have been part of Matrix since 2016 and documented so much of the issues especially here and raised concerns with Fedora Diversity which Pride Month reminds me of, but eventually remained unacknowledged.

Hi all, there was discussion in #fedora-diversity about the open request to rename accounts in the new Fedora Accounts system that is not yet addressed. I am forking @mkaysi ’s comment in the Matrix thread to a new discussion post here.
I thought it was worth flagging as a Council discussion for wider input and visibility on this issue. Some community members, myself included, will not want to create a perm…
