Hi,

Today I received this message below for Canonical, asking me to merge my 
Launchpad account with another one.

But I'm not a Ubuntu user and never had a Launchpad account, so how they 
create, without asking me, a account there?! And worst, now I have to 
take care of it, because someone want to steal it?! I have other things 
to do (besides translating) and now I have to go and tell they that i 
don't want to merge nothing? And there is no even a link inside the 
message to report it as a fraud...

This means that my SVN account can be in danger? I know that this is 
almost impossible, but reading here that KDE is talking about some 
collaboration with Rosetta makes me afraid.

And this means that some other guy is taking my translations and doing 
something with them only for Ubuntu? This is dangerous, translating 
something like K3b, you know, if very difficult, so I'm afraid that my 
name appears in some poorly, incomplete translated stuff. There is also 
a danger that some Ubuntu guy get a svn account and start to commit a 
lot of stuff just because thinks he is the official translator of a 
given application, so more headaches for us...

I'm sending this to ask if any of you had received similar messages, and 
if I can simply ignore it. Also I want to hear what you think about this 
kind of issue.

Thanks and sorry for my bad english.
