Description

I was just messing around with gitly and I didn't want to keep an account since I don't think it's featureful enough at this time to bother with. My personal information is valuable to me and not having a way for user accounts to be deleted is not only a major oversight but actually unlawful in some areas. Please add this feature for end users, it is critical to offering any kind of web based service.
