GitLab account deleted (or disabled) without notification.

Postby RokeJulianLockhart » 03 Jun 2024 15:32

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.

You can send an email to videolan (at) videolan.org about the Gitlab account issue.

Or join the IRC channel:

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.

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.
