Overview
Comment:people: an admin sees which contributors are also accounts

A contributor is a name an author's client wrote on an artifact; an account is a login on this forge. On a mirror the two barely intersect — fossil has 151 contributors and this forge has two accounts, sharing none — so the page says so, and badges the few that are both.

Read-only on purpose. A grant control here would offer to give write access to a string, and on a mirror those strings are chosen by whoever can commit upstream. The door goes to settings, where every row is a real account.

account.list is forge-wide and site-admin only, so a repo admin gets the door without the badges rather than an error.
