As a matter of fact, people rarely forget their logins---typically, they forget their passwords and lose email accounts; when they do forget their logins, the admins process their requests quite fast. I don't think this is a real issue, perhaps tasks like sr #109278, sr #109372, sr #109413, sr #109504, sr #110225 are more important. > Other changes are just language changes or typo fixes as you said. > Maybe adding "please" in some places and stuff like that is not very > significant, but I think it makes the site a bit more polite and warm to > the user. Some of those changes are actually wrong, many other are so minor that I wonder if they worth the additional translators' work. > The change from "Real Name" to "Full Name" is worth a separate mention: > I don't think the site should be asking for the "real" name, which > people may rather not give for many reasons; so "Full Name" is better in > my opinion. We don't ask for any government-issued IDs. when people aren't willing to give their "real" name (whatever it may mean), they submit something else.
