Ah! Hm, that's a horse of a different color...
So now I'll have three Wikimedia global accounts, one for WMF official usage, one personal, and one for Wikitech with all different names?
Or I should merge the Wikitech account with my WMF account of a different name?
Is that something I can do without requesting a local rename first?

Was the test mail intended to go only to dev accounts that are not

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.
