gerrit error: Identity in use by another account

[Daniel Gröber]

Hi,

Not sure who to poke about gerrit admin stuff. I'm trying to add my primary
email address [e-mail] to my gerrit account which is using a
different email, but I'm getting this error:

Error 422 (Unprocessable Entity): Identity 'mailto:[e-mail]' in use by another account

Endpoint: /config/server/email.confirm

I suspect the offending account got auto-created as that's my git identity.

The problem I'm trying to solve is that gerrit thinks my git ident and
gerrit account are two distict people and it keeps adding myself as
reviewer to my own patches (even if I remove that ident as reviewer).

Thanks,
--Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Gerrit admin stuff would be Martin Roth or me.

I've been looking through the docs, apparently we don't document that anywhere (unlike that we're doing Jenkins administration). What would you think is a good place to add that information? (that is: is there any place where you looked for it?)

That said, Martin already sorted it out for you and deduplicated your accounts.

Regards,
Patrick

I think there's hardly a place I didn't look :)

In order of obviousness: gerrit footer, gerrit docs
(review.coreboot.org/Documentation), doc.coreboot.org (/infrastructure),
homepage. No contact info other than the ML/security in sight.

Ideally there would be a page collecting project contacts/roles. I think a
list of humans would be nice but email aliases would work too.

Yeah, looks good now. Thanks.
