Comment (by strk):

 Confirmed: wiping a session first makes the session attributes orphaned
 (so that /prefs/ results blanked out) and finally (on log-out) wipes the
 attributes. The oldest backup that I made myself was from 20160503 and did
 not have Mateusz' email in session_attribute, nor Even's (for GDAL
 instance).

 Every clue points to this lack of port of a patch Frank Warmerdam applied
 to the notify.py script, to make it use the email registered with LDAP for
 figuring out users email.

 So, it only takes someone to find that patch and port it (and ideally make
 it general and send upstream).

 Daniel: I know you're always ready for new challenges ! :)
