Specify realname and email address in session table

I am interested in similar functionality and may have a go at this. Does anyone have any more concrete requirements? I was thinking of:

• view (unique) session records, esp. last login date/time
• ability to add name and email records in session_attribute
• ability to set last login date/time so username is added to assign-to drop list etc (see http://pacopablo.com/blog/pacopablo/blog/set-assign-to-drop-down for more info)

...however I have no experience with writing trac plugins! Suggestions / assistance welcome!

Both are addressed by AccountManagerPlugin, that doesn't require TRAC_ADMIN anymore after introducing a dedicated privileges ACCTMGR_USER_ADMIN for such actions.

* ability to set last login date/time so username is added to assign-to drop list etc (see http://pacopablo.com/blog/pacopablo/blog/set-assign-to-drop-down for more info)

This is neither supported by AccountManager yet, nor does it sound like a good idea to me.

While I understand your intention to populate the owner drop-down, that doesn't change the fact, that you want to fake a login event that never happened. Showing only user names, that are logging in at least once is on purpose. Only this way you're somewhat sure about their affiliation with the system. Of course there's still no guarantee that they know how to pick-up and act on tickets assigned to them.

Well, there are developers doing plugin development for fun or for money, if you would set out a bounty, or even for both. For Trac plugin coding guidance better ask at the mailing-list or in #trac IRC channel at freenode.net .
