Migration of Sardana to gitlab.com

[cpascual]

Important: user action required

We are preparing to move sardana-org hosting to gitlab.com.

In order to properly attribute comments, issues, statistics, etc to the right account in gitlab.com, we need to map the github accounts to gitlab accounts. This requires that the participants of all taurus-org repositories (via commits, comments, issues or pull requests) do one of the two following actions before the 8th of October:

1. log-in at least once on gitlab.com using the Github authentication. Or...
2. ensure that they have an account on gitlab.com that uses the same e-mail address as the Github primary address which must be public in this case.

Notes

• If you already have done this as a result from a similar notice from taurus, or from a tango-controls project, you can ignore this
• Login on gitlab.com using the "log with github" button does not give your Github password to Gitlab.
• If you your Github e-mail address is private, any commits done with the web interface are assigned a dummy email (something like my-github-account@noreply.github.com) and won't be recognized as coming from your associated gitlab account. So your contribution stats might not be as good as before for your past contributions.
• If a participant account is not mapped at the time of migration, the comment / issue / commit will appear as created by the migrator bot account. In this case a line will be added in the comment, specifying that this comment was "Created by: <>".
