Hi all,

As part of security mechanisms rolled out alongside the introduction of
mandatory 2FA, Gitlab will now automatically "deactivate" accounts that it
does not see active in the last 6 months.

This deactivation prevents the use of any keys or tokens associated with
the account, ensuring that they are unable to be used as part of an attack
on KDE.org systems. It does not mean that your account has been closed or
otherwise blocked.

For the vast majority of KDE.org contributors, they will never see this
process as they will be interacting with Gitlab in some form or another
(even if it is just to login to a wiki for instance) on a fairly regular
basis.

Accounts can be reactivated at any time by visiting the Gitlab web
interface at https://invent.kde.org/ and logging in through the normal
process.

Regards,
Ben Cooksley
KDE Sysadmin
