Right you are... :)

Oops! I didn't realize that that field was the password hash.

The hash must correspond to the automatically-generated password, because users cannot set their own password until they successful log in. So no security risk, but thanks for the tip.

P.S. The problem has been fixed.

Do me a favour...

Now that the world has seen your password hash, when you do successfully create an account please use a different password :)

Ooh and make sure its not the password you use for other services, otherwise you might get a nasty suprise.

(I redacted my username and email above.)

Something seems to have gone right, because I get an email saying

"Your

been granted, you may log in to http://drupal.org/user using the
following username and password..." I take this to mean that I've

temporary password, but I can't use it until I am approved. I find

this

confusing, because why bother issuing me a password if I can't use

it?

...

Why not just send it with the approval message?

Also, how long does it take to get approved? I could not find this
information anywhere on drupal.org <http://drupal.org>.

Also, how purposes of the drupal.org <http://drupal.org> forum and
the mailing list differ?

Thanks,
