[wp-hackers] wordpress.org profile no longer lists my plugins

[Nikola Nikolov]

Being on that topic, my username contains a dot("nikolov.tmw"), but the
slug to my profile obviously doesn't -
http://wordpress.org/support/profile/nikolovtmw .
My plugin http://wordpress.org/plugins/qtranslate-separate-comments/ shows
my picture and picks-up my "display name as" setting(Nikola Nikolov), but
the plugin is not listed on my profile page. Is this related to the
migration that's going on, or I have my
readme.txt<https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/qtranslate-separate-comments/tags/1.2.2/readme.txt>misconfigured?
