 As a manager of many client sites, my email address is used on a lot of
 sites in the "Administration Email Address" in Settings > General.

 Over time, clients move to other vendors, and sometimes this happens
 without the opportunity to change the Administration Email Address before
 it is moved. In many cases, this email address remains unchanged for
 years, and I continue to receive software update, user account, and other
 emails for accounts I have no contact with, and no way to access to change
 the setting.

 This has been mentioned by other WordPress developers as well, and I
 believe it is a widespread problem, although one easy to dismiss on a day-
 to-day basis. I did a search through Trac tickets and didn't see anything
 like it, so I am posting this ticket in hopes that a solution can be
 reached.

 Ideally, I'd like to see a solution that includes a time-sensitive link
 (similar to new account registrations) that would allow the owner of the
 admin to click through to the link, and agree to have the email address
 removed as the "Administration Email Address".
