Hmm. I’d like to have a GitLab account linked to my GitHub account
(login via GitHub credentials) rather than an independent GitLab
account. What if I create a GitHub-linked GitLab account before the
migration? Will this account be used for my Trac stuff in case my
GitHub(!) e-mail address is the same as my Trac e-mail address?

All the best,
