High level Objectives / Progress on quarterly OKRs

In this milestone we will work on items from User Contribution Mapping - post first release (gitlab-org&14774). Improved user contribution mapping remains the top-priority for 17.7 as well. This feature enhances the user experience, requiring less preparation before the migration and enabling mapping contributions and memberships of users with different emails on the source and destination instances. It makes the import more transparent to all participants, as users need to accept mapping request. Documentation is available for review.

In 17.7 we plan to:

• Complete integrating this feature with 3rd party importers.
• Adding CSV.

In this milestone we also continue working towards Cells 1.0.
