Document mannequin reclaim procedure

[mkoeppe]

We should provide information to our developers who could not react to the org invitations in time how to ask us to link the placeholder accounts to their real github account later.

Our org admins could then use this workflow (as per our github contact):

Mannequin related functionality is in our GraphQL API.

I’d recommend using the CLI for one of our modern migration tools, which has some built-in functionality for managing your mannequins: https://github.com/github/gh-gei

The docs here explain how the CLI works: https://docs.github.com/en/early-access/enterprise-importer/completing-your-migration-with-github-enterprise-importer/reclaiming-mannequins. In short, you can generate a CSV with a list of all of your mannequins, fill in the names, and then send the invites.

For Sage contributors, this should probably start with a PR that edit https://github.com/sagemath/website/blob/master/conf/contributors.xml to provide the Trac and GitHub account.

This seems the practical procedure: https://groups.google.com/g/sage-devel/c/C6z5kiwnXBA

According to the github doc, organization owners can send invites for membership and reclaiming mannequin accounts.

Related: I think any sagemath organization member should become a Triage team member, so that they can add labels, review PRs, and edit wiki. We may require some(zero or 1 or 2 or 3?) merged PRs as a precondition.

This procedures for membership and reclaiming mannequin accounts should be posted somewhere (wiki?) officially.

Hello. I would like to reclaim my mannequin, and I am not sure how to proceed despite trying several options mentioned in Matthias's original comment. I believe I am a member of both the main SageMath organization and the @sagemath/triage team. However, on Issue #33713, kryzar is still listed as a mannequin. I would appreciate any assistance. Thank you.

[kwankyu]

@dimpase may send you an invitation.

[kryzar]

Thank you @kwankyu and @fchapoton for your blazingly fast reaction time!

[dimpase]

I am away from computers for another 12 hours, maybe @mkoeppe can do the invite earlier than me.

May I also get an invitation to reclaim my account?

[dimpase]

hmm, have already tried to reclaim your mannequin? I thought I sent you an invite, but it didn't work, yes? And then I tried contacting GitHub support for help, but to no avail. Can you open a support ticket with them?

I just received (and accepted) an invitation to claim my account from @fchapoton (thank you), and my contributions (i.e., mannequin account) got claimed now. The invitation that I got from you was for the organization (unless I missed your invitation to claim my contributions). What @fchapoton just did seems to work.

[cyrilbouvier]

Hello

I'd like to reclaim my sagetrac mannequin 'bouvier' ? (it appear, for example in sagemath/sage#29164)

[dimpase]

I'm not sure how to deal with the account name difference. If they were the same, then it's indeed just about accepting an invite to this github org team.

With the difference in the name, we don't have a sufficiently fancy GitHub subscription to do it ourselves. Probably we'll need to raise it with GitHub support. IIRC it was done few times already. Best done by an org owner.

[dimpase]

We can probably do a mass edit of the trac-migrated issues, and change bouvier (or sagetrac-bouvier) to cyrilbouvier, then an invite would to the job.
