<p>Just to repeat what I said when we discussed this on IRC my main concern here is that I don't think we have any way to accurately match OSMF members to OSM accounts.</p>
<p>As I understand it we ask people for their account name at signup but then never make any attempt to get updates so we may well wind up attaching these flags to the wrong accounts.</p>
