Where is the correct place to post an issue about the 'real name' field?

An associate attempted to update his real name on Drupal.org. However the 'real name' field continues to be blank for his Groups.Drupal account when displaying on a sign-up list.

Regards,
Tom

This is a fine location.

I don't really know what the problem was with that user (this was the user brandorr in NYC, right).

Here's the status:
* We are now using a feature of Bakery that synchs data in profiles from the master site (drupal.org) to the slave site (here).
* That synch happens whenever someone edits their account on drupal.org
* The view doesn't have any caching
* We are using memcache, so that could be the problem, but the profile data is saved using user_save which I would hope invalidates the memcache entry
* For brandorr, I had to edit his account on g.d.o and then the view was updated

I guess I'd like to wait and see if this happens again and then I can debug it better. So please update this thread if you notice it again.

We use the signup list for

We use the signup list for our Downtown LA Drupal meetups and require the real name field to be filled out, and I've heard of this happening and it was apparently fixed by updating the user profile on Drupal.org and not groups.drupal.org. I haven't been able to reproduce it, though. If I learn more I'll update this thread as well.
