The VideoLAN Forums

I use Bitwarden to store my account credentials, so I know which accounts I have. I wanted to report something to the GitLab issue tracker for the primary VLC Desktop project (it'd be my second issue, after the now-inaccessible https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/issues/28617) but my credentials don't work, and the URI to my profile - https://code.videolan.org/RokeJulianLockhart - doesn't either. What's my recourse? I ask because, per https://forum.gitlab.com/t/how-do-i-fig ... anlockhart, locating who the administrators are for an instance isn't necessarily possible.

I was able to successfully re-register with the same username, so the account must have been entirely deleted. I've never had that happen on a GitLab instance before now, especially without any warning. Thanks for the advice - I'll try those channels when I can - but I rather doubt that my filed issues can be restored, now.

It was rejected. I've sent an e-mail. Thanks, Lotesdelere.

Done. Thanks.

Thank you, lots! Do you think there's any way to restore the deleted issue - https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/issues/28617 - since it's been referenced in a few Bugzilla tickets? If I re-report it, I imagine it'll give the VLC maintainers déjà vu.
