Dear Developers,
I've been working on getting the inkscape-web bugs moved over from launchpad to GitLab. The code for doing this is pretty much there, but there is one serious limitations.
It's not possible to set users to anyone but myself for /anything/. So that's everything from bug creator, assignee to commenter.
This is because our project is on Gitlab.com where I'm (obviously) not an administrator. Admin access on one's own hosting of gitlab is a prerequisite for importing data with users other than your own. It makes sense that I can't assign three hundred bugs to some unwilling party, but it's a bit annoying.
The closest I can get is to use a new gitlab.com user I've created called 'lpuser' it's an account I can bless with project privileges and then let it own all launchpad posts from the transition. Prefacing the content/description of the bug or comment with "originally posted by ~username on launchpad"
Before I commit to importing the launchpad inkscape-web bugs under this user. Does anyone else have any ideas to try?
Best Regards, Martin Owens
