Description

I may have lost access to my GitLab account. I have no idea what happened.

When I tried to log in, I was immediately redirected to an error page saying "422 Sign-in using Wikimedia Dev Account (OIDC) auth failed: Email has already been taken."
In T337598 another user had encountered the same error, but that was because he just changed his username. I did not do such a thing.

Looks like after I attached an email address and verified it in Wikitech, I regained access to my account again. Presumably the authentication part returned a null email address and that clashed with someone else.
