Hello Tom, I think that this may be highlighted in the "newcomers" section, as you proposed, but "report a bug" wiki page already contains information about that you should ask for the account approval: * https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/wikis/report-a-bug Andrei 12.12.2023 12:50, Tom Ellis wrote:
Hello GHC devs,
It is hard for new users to understand how to get their new Gitlab accounts approved by an administrator. See, for example, these messages, both in the last ten days:

* https://old.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/18ge6vj/access_to_ghc_gitlab_for_r...
The Wiki doesn't seem to provide any guidance in the "Contributing" or "Newcomers" sections. Nor does ghc.dev. Perhaps that's understandable; GHC is not the Gitlab instance.

* https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/wikis/contributing#newcomers-to-ghc
So how is a new user supposed to know how to get their accounts approved? It would be nice to make the process super clear. This is a longstanding issue.
