Was the test mail intended to go only to dev accounts that are not attached to a MediaWiki account? I ask because I got it, and I'm already attached to a MediaWiki account so there doesn't appear to have been anything for me to do once I logged in there, but the subject and text imply that it's required to make a change from current state.
The email's terminology is slightly confusing in that round I think. Rather than "MediaWiki account" I think it should read "Wikimedia Global Account (SUL)". The project that is underway is converting the locally attached accounts on Wikitech to be backed by Central Auth rather than Developer accounts in LDAP.
