Isn't it easiest to just ask for the FAS name of the person who wants to become a packager? I don't really see how this should be less efficient than searching the mail address in the FAS database.

Perhaps I misunderstand, but I think the real problem is that the
email used for bugzilla doesn't have to be the same as the email
specified when signing up for a FAS account. So if the bugzilla email
isn't found in FAS, it doesn't necessarily mean that they don't yet
have a FAS account. Similarly, it also doesn't necessarily mean that
they haven't signed the CLA yet.

I don't know how these queries are done, but I would have thought that
if you can query whether any members of the CLA group have the email
address in question, you might as well query the Packager group from
the start.
