Request for access to change default branch in Gitlab

Created on 13 March 2025, 21 days ago

Hi! I am the maintainer of the Footnotes module 4x branch (the only supported branch) and have been for over a year https://git.drupalcode.org/project/footnotes/-/commits/4.0.x?ref_type=heads

The 3x branch is abandoned

I have contacted pifagor to get the default branch changed to 4.x but unfortunately he's no longer active
Ideally I have access granted to do this myself in gitlab now and in the future

Can you help please? Thank you!

    You are co-maintainer of that project, since you do not have all the permissions on that project.

    To be able to change the default branch, you need to have both the Administer maintainers permission (you do not have) and the Write to VCS permission (you already have).

    Either you get the Administer maintainers permission instead of another permission you already have (between Edit project, Maintain issues, and Administer releases), or you offer to become maintainer.

    Thanks! I opened 💬 Offering to maintain Footnotes Needs review and have reminders set for the 2 and 4 week marks to move it over to the projectownership queue and then add the follow-up comment per documentation.
