Hi gregd. I’m not 100% sure if there’s a better solution to the publisher / Ubuntu One account issue, but I’m far from an expert in this domain. Your idea seems like the easiest solution I can think of, but maybe @odysseus-k might have an idea. It doesn’t hurt to loop them in anyway as a heads up that a transfer request will probably follow.
For the Icon issue and license issue, I’ve not encountered these myself but I suspect it’s todo with the “update metadata on release” issue, discussed here and here. Check the autopsy store settings page for that setting.
