### Note
When we are importing Issues/Pull Requests we try to find the original
author or assignee using the Github Id, but for this to work the original
author or assignee should had signed in before on the GitLab instance and
associated their GitHub account. If we don’t find the user in our database
we set the project creator (most of the times the current user that started
the import process) as the author but we keep a reference on the issue
about the original author.
