I wonder if we aren't over thinking here. Maybe I didn't associate a display name with my user record and my alternate address on purpose for my own reasons. Maybe when I subscribe my alternate address to some list, I do it because I don't want my preferred address or its display name associated with this subscription.
I'm not sure we should be mining the data for things that the user may have intentionally not provided.
That's an interesting point, thanks.
I'm with Mark here.
I think the right thing to do is to file an RFE with Postorius to have the "link new address" screen "suggest" the existing display names, but not automatically add any.
The intention in the model is that the user's display name can be used as a fallback for any linked address that has no display name.
Also have a "inherit user name" value in the list. Despite the way I lean above, this could be default. But definitely EIBTI (@aditya "explicit is better than implicit") -- we should not take None for "carte blanche".
