https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/admin/users/dipanjansengupta looks like your account has somehow been approved already (no clue how).
Happy hacking! :)

@A_smart_kitten @Aklapper

Do you receive an error message? If so, would you be able to copy it here (removing any private information, if there is any)?
(Note that I don't believe I'd be able to investigate this sort of issue with Wikimedia's GitLab installation myself, but this information might be helpful for someone that can)

@dipanjan_sengupta Ah, if I'm understanding that correctly, it seems like you may need to create a fork of the repo in GitLab (and then submit a merge-request from that fork), rather than pushing to the original repo itself. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/GitLab/Workflows/Making_a_merge_request#Fork_and_clone_a_repository_from_GitLab has more details :)
