Are you sure you have that username? Like can you still find your initial registration email? As it sounds like they're not telling you that you're entering the wrong email for the account, which I believe is a good security practice.

If I use the "forgot [my] username" function and enter my email address then I get a message in my inbox that says that I own the account in question. It's absolutely maddening.

Can you find the initial email? As that still sounds like it could be a security practice. Or what happens if you try to make a new account with the email?
