• bzimport raised the priority of this task from to Needs Triage.Nov 22 2014, 1:52 AM

• bzimport set Reference to bz53793.

This is a known issue. Can Nojhan please let us know the following info:

Preferred wikitech username (this will also be the user's git display name)
Preferred shell account name (must be lowercase and ascii, this is used for ssh)
Email address

We need to link old SVN accounts with git accounts.

Ryan, the requested details are on RT #5923 now.
