I don't see how that's fundamentally different from what I said - so
maybe it's not 60s but a few minutes over a year. Still more time than
we would like, but certainly not a significant amount.

Aside from that, nothing stops you from deleting your launchpad
account after filing a bug so you don't end up with a new identity to
maintain.
