@ -49,6 +49,16 @@ The importer will create any new namespaces if they don't exist or in the
case the namespace is taken, the project will be imported on the user's
namespace.
### Note
When we are importing Issues/Pull Requests we try to find the original
author or assignee using the Github Id, but for this to work the original
author or assignee should had signed in before on the GitLab instance and
associated their GitHub account. If we don’t find the user in our database
we set the project creator (most of the times the current user that started
the import process) as the author but we keep a reference on the issue
about the original author.
