How to create a publisher account when your email is already in use on Launchpad?

Hello Store Team -

Quick question. How does someone create a publisher account for the Snap Store on Launchpad when their email is already in use on Launchpad? I want to create a publisher account for Ubuntu HPC so that way we can transfer community maintained, high-performance computing snap packages to it. The only problem though is that I don’t have a spare email. I was thinking of using my nuccitheboss@ubuntu.com address, but that’s already in use by my personal Launchpad account. How should I proceed here?

This question is also relevant for another publisher that I am working with to get set up on the Snap Store.

Thanks for the assistance!

You can ‘tag’ your email address with something and sign up with a whole new launchpad account. Infinite launchpad accounts for everyone!

e.g. nuccitheboss+email99@ubuntu.com

You’ll get the sign-up to your normal ubuntu.com account.

Totally forgot that I can do that with email. Thank you for the suggestion! Unblocks a lot of things for me!
