Bug Description

The new "Contact this User" feature is available even on my own profile page. It seems somewhat unlikely I'd want to contact myself.

Actually, for testing purposes and consistency, we want users to be able to contact themselves through this same feature. The wording can be improved in this case though.

After discussion with Martin, we'll keep "Contact this user" when looking on someone else's page and change the text to "Contact yourself" when looking on your own profile page.

Martin, in my pre-implementation call with Brad, he suggests "Send yourself a test message". What do you think?

I kinda think that presenting the user an option, and tell them to test it, is a bit odd, don't you think?

Once I'm done with the implementation, I think it should be fairly easy to change the text. I defer to you on the exact wording.

I see that the fix landed in r7294, but I do not see it on staging which is r7310. Were these change lost?

No, the changes landed, verified on staging. What didn't happen is the bug description didn't get updated with our final decision. We decided to leave the text "Contact this user", but the tooltip says "Send an email to yourself through Launchpad" and the +contactuser page you end up on has a title that says "Contact yourself".
