Can someone help me getting started to develop wikimedia , I am hoping to get this accepted.
I am not sure , if I did something wrong.

You haven't done anything wrong; the people who typically process these requests are just busy with the end-of-year holidays and hence not handling your request.

In the mean time, note that much of Wikimedia's technical stuff is done on Gerrit rather than GitLab, and Gerrit accounts don't require approval.

Hi @Krrish_Sehgal. Sorry you haven't gotten a response here. Can you confirm that you have logged in to https://gitlab.wikimedia.org and point me to your username there? I can't find anything for "Krrish Sehgal".

The account would have been auto-rejected due to not being approved within 90 days. See T384264

Ah, good call. I'd misremembered that it would land in banned or blocked rather than being dropped from the db entirely.

@Krrish_Sehgal if you're still interested in an account, please log in to GitLab again and we can get you going.
