How can I merge two user accounts?

When we had a problem after the migration, some of our users chose to create new accounts. So now, some of them would like to be able to merge their accounts. Is it possible? If yes, how can I do that?

My guess is that this is not implemented (yet). You better put a request for this on jira.

It's not possible via the code, as far as I can tell.

It would be possible to do it via direct SQL queries in the database, Make sure you've got a backup first. Refine your SQL approach on a development server with a database copied from your production server. Test, test, and test again. Then backup your production server again, and then do the queries on your production server.

Thanks. I guess the script for that can be used to implement this feature in the future.
