In the meantime, users of Trac should check and possibly update the email address associated with their account [1]. This address will be used to correlate Trac users with their GitLab equivalents so the correctness of this address will be important in preserving attribution information during the Trac import.
Will this correlation also work if I don’t have a GitLab account at the time of migration but later will get a GitLab account that uses the e-mail address I have on Trac?
When the Trac migration is carried out new GitLab accounts will be created for Trac users who have not yet created an account. You will be able to request a password reset to gain access to this account.
Hmm. I’d like to have a GitLab account linked to my GitHub account (login via GitHub credentials) rather than an independent GitLab account. What if I create a GitHub-linked GitLab account before the migration? Will this account be used for my Trac stuff in case my GitHub(!) e-mail address is the same as my Trac e-mail address? All the best, Wolfgang
