Project import (via BitBucket) mapping all MRs/issues/comments to import user
Problem to solve
When an external project is imported from GitHub/Bitbucket into GitLab, the MRs, issues, and comments are imported. This is very useful, but they are all attributed to the user who performed the import, not the original author. This is the case even when the original author is known to GitLab (e.g., matching email address attributes commits to them), and makes it very confusing to follow imported threads because it looks like the user talking to themselves.
Intended users
Developer/Manager who performs import.
Further details
Proposal
Distinguish the author in some way, perhaps via their GitLab username when it is known, by referencing their GitHub/Bitbucket account, or even just "unknown" when it is different from the user doing the import.

Testing
What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
