When going through several migrations the user owning the post may loose the ownership. E.g. if user X has profiles on sites A and C but not B, and one of his posts on A is migrated to B and then to C, X looses the ownership of the post although he has a profile on C.

Here is an example:

Multiple migrations aren't supported very well right now (or, well, at all beyond just moving the question over to another site).

I'm not sure if this is something we can fix or if there are any plans to do so any time soon, but in the meantime I associated the answer with the correct user.
