I cannot login to the Gitlab to report a bug. Please restore my account. It says it was “blocked” but I have no idea why. Does the gitlab expire old accounts?
This is the bug I want to report: https://youtu.be/Bm2tgCHuP20
Hello @AMDphreak and welcome to the forum!
As far as I know, you have to contact the GitLab administrator if you have login problems with GitLab accounts, at least that’s what it says in their email to me. Because I myself also have to take care of a renewed access, since they have also deactivated my account for reasons unknown to me.
The other thing is that bug reports concerning Krita are reported via bugs.kde.org, and have been for longer than I’ve been registered on this forum. There you need a working e-mail address and be aware that it can be seen by anyone who reads the bug report. However, I have never received a message other than the one from bugs.kde.org to my specially created e-mail address.
I know GitLab and KDE.ORG are connected together, but not in which way, I think GitLab is a subdivision of KDE.ORG, but may be wrong.
And so far, I have different accounts for both organizations.

Gitlab is the software, created by the company at gitlab’s website (which is where most people upload code, like GitHub). KDE has their own instance of the Gitlab software that they run on their own servers. Not sure how I reached their gitlab, if bug reporting goes on bugs.kde.org . Thanks for the info. Still need my account restored anyhow, if I ever want to contribute in a meaningful capacity.
update:
I am reporting a bug in the documentation of Krita, not Krita itself, although there is also a bug in Krita…so maybe I’ll just report the bug in Krita. But the documentation doesn’t match Krita’s behavior.
While reading the docs, I wanted to report the problem so I clicked on the most relevant looking like at the bottom: Gitlab for krita docs.
docs.krita.org → look at the bottom.
Also I do not know how to reach their Gitlab admin. It is not the Gitlab company’s admin. It would be Krita’s Gitlab instance’s admin.

Either way, we can not restore your account because we’re mostly just users helping the community not Krita developers and the devs also don’t have access to general account management only to their repository.
The email I received said I had to log in to https://www.opencode.net/. I did so and my account was reactivated. A banner was displayed saying that my account had been deactivated because it had been inactive for too long.

If you want to contribute patches, read the documentation, it contains the links to GitLab and other resources. Krita source is on invent.kde.org.
