- Have a GitHub account with a [public-facing email address](https://docs.github.com/en/github/setting-up-and-managing-your-github-user-account/setting-your-commit-email-address)
that matches their GitLab account's email address.

GitLab content imports that use GitHub accounts require that the GitHub public-facing
email address is populated so that all comments and contributions are properly mapped

accounts for imported content to be properly mapped to the user in the new system.
Refer to GitHub documentation for instructions on how to add that address.
If a user referenced in the project is not found in the GitLab database, the project creator (typically the user
