[Ardour-Dev] Mantis upgrade

[Taybin Rutkin]

As I have my email address set as the admin for mantis, I receive an email every time a new account is created. We have been receiving an unacceptable amount of fake account signups.

Is mantis still used? If so, I’m happy to upgrade to a newer version with better security. If not we can shut it down. We can also replace it with something else is people are inclined to do so.

A fourth option is we change the admin email to something else, but I think we need to stop allowing these accounts to be created.

You're not the only one. Both myself and Robin Gareus get them as well.

And yes, we are still using mantis! If you want to try to do the upgrade,
that would be fantastic. Otherwise, I can reset your account status so that
you no longer receive them.

I realized I can't log into the host anymore. Not even sure what host to log into. Maybe better to just reset my account.
