Indeed this list is disconnected from Canonical.  Staff were about to
close the list some time ago, but allowed some volunteers to take over
moderation, and AFAIK they've never officially looked at it again.  My
take: there was more drama, venting and feckless grousing than they
were willing to support.

I never go to launchpad to file a bug.  I use ubuntu-bug(1), which is
part of apport.

Maybe somebody else has ideas about how to fix the launchpad login problem.
