I don't see the need to limit the length of the login field other than to the length of the field in the DB, nor do I see it for the e-mail addresses, and would remove both completely.

Holger, Eric, any objections?

Pull request at https://github.com/chiliproject/chiliproject/pull/166

I skimmed through the associated views and tests for limited text fields or tests for the validation but didn't find any, the mail_handler and trac migration script get their limits from the "DB" directly so this should be good too.

Honestly I'm tempted to remove the limits on the first and last names too, I'll update the pull request tomorrow evening accordingly unless someone objects to it.

e6ec8ab removes the length limits on the login, mail, firstname and lastname fields. This will probably cause in the UI at one point or the other, but we should deal with those later.
