Hi Mykola,

Thanks for reaching out.

The error message suggests that you have formatted the name/email not
properly.

There was a similar issue reported a couple of years ago with some tips on
how to do this properly, especially when using a tool called dch.
https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/290253

My gut feeling that the name/email pair is not formatted correctly is
supported when I look at the error handling in our code base.

if person is None:
raise UploadError(
"Unable to identify '%s':<%s> in launchpad" % (name, email)
)

When I look at your error message ("Unable to identify '': <MYKOLA
TSYHANKOV battlemaster.help@xxxxxxxxx> in launchpad."), the code was unable
to detect the name, as there is nothing in between the two single ticks,
and the email placeholder is replaced with both your name and email address.

Please let us know whether the description in the above question is helpful
or whether you need further support.
