Export user list

Is it possible to export the list of users (with their email addresses)?
Preferably via a command line. Here's the 'user story':

The server administrator needs to take the server down for essential
maintenance (e.g. adding extra memory). The server admin would like to
inform the Jazz users of the downtime. In addition the server runs
multiple (10+) instances of Jazz.

The ability to send a broadcast email from the Jazz Web UI would solve
the problem for a single instance of Jazz. For the multiple instances
case, the ability to export the list of users could be the starting
point for emailing all users across all instances.

Is there anything being considered in this space?

Many thanks,
Jeremy

Nothing quite like that exists now, but it would be possible to write
using the IContributorManager API. If you write something like that,
perhaps you could make it available for other people as well.

We had a repotools command in beta2a to export the user information in txt format. Please open an enhancement to add this functionality in next release.

In fact, we already have an enhancement open - 60169 - that is closely
related to this. It's a great idea. I've taken the liberty of adding
your use case to this bug. Feel free to comment or expand further.
