High level Objectives / Progress on quarterly OKRs

In this milestone we plan to extend user contribution mapping importers feature by allowing to re-assign contributions by submitting a CSV file. That will benefit especially large customers with many users, allowing for faster reassingment of contributions after an import.

Next, we want to provide prompt feedback to reassigning user when users belong to groups enforcing SAML. If groups have SAML SSO set up, the accounts on Gitlab.com need to be verified and linked to the group's SAML SSO before reassignment to their Placeholders. If this is not done, membership validation will fail and membership relations will not be created correctly on Gitlab.com. Currently, owners can choose unverified users and we don't show anything in the UI when owner tries to reassign to unverified user.

Finally, we want to complete the work started by a community contributor and allow all webhooks to self-heal, keeping users workflow automation running smoothly without interruption. Related blog post.
