access: merge my Gerrit accounts

[HeliC829]

I've contributed to golang with the address [email protected] for my CL, and for logging in to Gerrit.

For some reason, going forward, I'll be using the email address [email protected] for logging in to Gerrit. I still intend to contribute to the Go project, for example, do more about my proposal #60072.

@golang/release , Can you merge my Gerrit accounts so that all my change before would still show up as my CL?

Thanks!

Hi @HeliC829, the most foolproof way of accomplishing this is by adding your email address to the first account https://go-review.googlesource.com/settings/#EmailAddresses

Oh, I forgot that I can change my email account this way.....but I have already created a new gerrit account with my new email address, so I can't add my new address to my old gerrit account ( it would show "address is in use by another account" ). So what should I do now?

In this case, we can merge your two accounts into one. That is done now.

Specifically, both of your emails are now associated with your older Gerrit account (ID 61713, created Mar 10, 2023), https://go-review.googlesource.com/dashboard/61713. The more recent account (ID 3384854, created Apr 6) is considered merged.

You should be able to login and update your emails at https://go-review.googlesource.com/settings/#EmailAddresses to match your new preference. Please comment if something didn't work as expected.

Thanks for contributing to Go.

The CL 584735 and CL 578175 are still under the newer Gerrit account (ID 3384854). Should I submit the CLs again, or just wait for them to be moved to the older Gerrit account (ID 61713)?

[dmitshur]

Sorry for the trouble, I didn't realize it wouldn't have effect on your newer CLs.

Since it's only two of them and both haven't begun code review yet (and one of them needs a merge conflict resolution), I would suggest closing them and re-sending with your newly merged account. Hopefully that works well, sorry again for the overhead and thanks for bearing with it. (If really needed, we can temporarily unlink the accounts again, but hopefully it's fine to just move forward in this case.)
