Thank for all your hard work! This issue tracker system has been a pain
for so many people for years.

I think having a small-scale review of the post-migration github
repository can be very useful. It can be 1% (or larger?) of the current
~53000 issues. People will have some idea what the repository will look
like, e.g. what portion of issues are anonymous.

Agree. Deep Majumder asked the requestion in the thread. A colleague of
mine asked the same question.

I just visited the Bugzilla / GitHub username mapping form and re-submitted my mapping
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdUSCK-Rgl9H-8Ua0yat1KL1yELChxkJk15SfhnwPnIexTQUw/viewform
There is no email confirmation.

A contributor may have multiple email addresses. They may not submit
their bugzilla email address or they may miss the notification to their
not-regularly-used email address (possible due to closed registration for
a long time).

Yesterday I read
https://blog.llvm.org/posts/2021-11-18-relicensing-update/ and notified
3 friends who were on the long-tail spreadsheet. Two of them are still
contributing and told me that they missed the email notification because they
had changed their primary email address. I am going to ask them whether
they have submitted the mapping form...


I think bugs.llvm.org has a local patch to display the banner:
"New user self-registration is disabled due to spam. For an account please email bugs-admin at lists.llvm.org with your e-mail address and full name."

Could the banner be toggled a bit to remind the user and show the Bugzilla / GitHub usernam mapping if submitted?
