How to register an account on GitLab. Due to spam, new accounts are locked until approved by an admin or the approver bot. Your GitLab account gets automatically approved within one hour if you are a member of Trusted Contributors in Gerrit, or a member of the Trusted-Contributors group in Phabricator and linked your Developer account to your Phabricator account. If none of these apply, you can file an unlock request to expedite access.

When the gitlab-mentions-bot mentions someone in a note, the bot
account itself becomes subscribed to the MR and it receives emailed
update notifications (which end up being received by the releng
folks). That's no good. To work around this, unsubscribe from the MR
after posting a note.
