Hi!
At the last meeting there was a lot of discussion [0] around the registration of users in https://dip.torproject.org and people had a few suggestions to deal with spam and allow people to easily send bugs and track them (some suggestions were to create a web interface for anonymous users in front of gitlab, continue with cypherpunk account, install a forum with discourse). It seems that this last decision is the only blocker right now to move forward with a date for the migration. All the suggestions proposed involve extra work/resources right now that we do not have.
With the objective of getting this done soon with the requirements we have, let's choose the minimum solution for moving to our gitlab instance and resolve all the other problems later.
It would mean having registration open (at first at least but we can close it anytime) in https://dip.torproject.org and get a few of us (at least Pili and me are volunteering for this) to moderate who is registering and creating issues. Gitlab has a way for people to report users and we can monitor new accounts closely. And there is a way to whitelist and black list domains for sign-ups. If we see that this is a lot more work volume that what we have now in trac, we can close regisration and open accounts on request. Other gitlab instances have a lot of issues dealing with spam and it seems that it could get worst than at trac but we will deal with this once the migration to gitlab is done.
Next meeting is on October 15th at 17 UTC on #irc-meeting and the agenda should be:
* dates for migration * review steps for the migration [1]
cheers, gaba

This is a self-serving question, but will it possible/easier to rename user accounts in gitlab? Or could we perform a rename during the migration?

It seems you should be able to change your username in GitLab, according to this documentation:
https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/user/profile/#changing-your-username
But I could not find this option in the profile settings, so it's unclear if it will be possible in *our* instance.
