Update cmlara's commiter email address in GitLab

Created on 1 July 2025, about 1 month ago

Problem/Motivation

It is not possible for users to self update their commit address due to a block of access to https://git.drupalcode.org/-/user_settings/profile and I desire to change my commit email address to not use a no-reply address.

    This is the first request for this update we’ve had.

    We do have integrity checks ensuring the commit emails are always synced correctly. We’d lose knowing about user syncing issues if we were to update your email.

    The current value is __private which is a GitLab internal value.

    My understanding is from an API standpoint this this value is not the same as syncing the Primary email address from KeyCloak (which is currently set as my Primary email address in GitLab).

    This value is set under Profile > Main Settings > Commit Email. There should be nothing to/from D.O. or KeyCloak should there?

    This is the first request for this update we’ve had.

    I will note I have had the request to be able to make this change on my own open since March of 2022. Having waited 3 years I felt it was reasonable to request infra to make these changes on my behalf.

    The desire is to have new commits be able to be linked to my profile in GitHub and GitLab which requires it to be an email address that can pass validation to prove ownership.

    Attached photo from GitLab showing the necessity for this.

    It is my understanding G.D.O. has the same requirement preventing GitHub and GitLab addresses from being added as secondary addresses.

    I additionally desire to have my commits attributed to a real email address as part of managing my copyright to each commit to provide a long term reachable email address.
