Unable to confirm email address change on WordPress.org site

[paulkevan]

Submitted as a core ticket (​https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/57786)

I am trying to update my email address on the WordPress.org site from this page:
​https://wordpress.org/support/users/username/edit/account/?screen=email
(Replace username with the actual username)

This sends a confirmation email to my new email address, but clicking on it fails > with the following error:

"You attempted to access the "WordPress.org Forums" dashboard, but you do not currently have privileges on this site. If you believe you should be able to access > the "WordPress.org Forums" dashboard, please contact your network administrator."

It looks like the email we need to send out should have a link like

https://wordpress.org/support/users/[user]/edit/?action=bbp-update-user-email&newuseremail=[hash]

instead of which it currently sends something like

https://wordpress.org/support/wp-admin/profile.php?newuseremail=[hash]

Yeah, this is a short-coming of the core implementation.
