Yup, you used .fr and not .com.

Well, the question is "how can we be sure that the erasure demand is
legit". Ie, if the account is in used, we cannot check it ( unless we go
on every applications to seek ).

I guess since the password was never changed, that the account was
indeed unused. I can either erase it, or change the email. 

For the record, here is the ldap query I used on valstar :
ldapsearch -L -h localhost -b "dc=mageia,dc=org" -D
"uid=misc,ou=People,dc=mageia,dc=org" -Z  -W
'(&(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(!(pwdChangedTime=*)))' cn uid  mail

We do have 27 non activated account, I guess we could decide to prune
them sooner or later ?

Accounts are not deleted ( yet ).
