+Merging Accounts
+################
+
+Sometimes, users create a second account, perhaps because they don't realise
+they can change the email address associated with their original account.
+And then, once they discover this, they don't want to abandon the history
+associated with either account.
+
+The best way forward in this case would be to merge one of their accounts
+into the other one, so it looked like the target account had done all the
+actions of both. In Bugzilla's :file:`contrib` directory, there is a script
+called :file:`merge-users.pl`. While code in this directory is not officially
+supported by the Bugzilla team, this script may be useful to you in
+solving the above problem.
