Weirdly, my message to ssapaty@wikimedia.org pointing out the domain typo was rejected by wmf's mail server.

Hello,
Just got this email, but the referenced site doesn't exist ( idm.wikipedia.org). Wondering if this was sent by mistake?
Thanks, -Travis

Hello Audiodude
We are reaching out to inform you about an important upcoming change regarding your Wikitech account. As part of our ongoing efforts to streamline account management and improve security, we will be migrating all old developer Wikitech accounts to the MediaWiki account system (also referred to as global account or Wikimedia global account). This means that in the future you will be able to access Wikitech using your MediaWiki/Wikipedia account.
==What You Need to Do== To ensure a smooth transition, we request that you manually link your Wikitech account to your MediaWiki account before September 16th. Please follow these steps: *Log in to idm.wikipedia.org with the same username and password you would use on wikitech.[0] *Follow the instructions provided to link your Wikitech (LDAP) account to your MediaWiki account.
==Why This Is Important== Currently, Wikitech accounts are stored in LDAP, which has been historically used for managing technical community accounts across Wikimedia projects. We are now consolidating these accounts under the MediaWiki account system. This change will help us better manage the Wikitech wiki, which also contains essential technical documentation.
==Migration Details== *Linked Accounts: If you link your accounts by the deadline, your Wikitech account will be migrated to your Mediawiki account, retaining your full edit history. *Unlinked Accounts: If you do not link your accounts by the deadline, your Wikitech account will be migrated to a default scheme (e.g., wikitech_OLDWIKITECHUSERNAME). Your old edits will still be visible, but new edits will be made under a new MediaWiki account with no immediate link to your past edits.
Your prompt action will help us ensure a seamless transition. If you have already linked your accounts, no further action is required. If you have any questions or need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us[1] We are also maintaining a FAQ page here[2] that hopefully answers some questions you may have.
Thanks Komla Sapaty (Developer Experience)
