Sending Messages to Users
Problem to solve
It would be useful to be able to send messages to users in GitLab without the necessity of exposing their e-mail accounts or being the administrator of the GitLab Instance.
This would solve communication problems especially in an open source project, where:
- Users might request member access and the maintainer first wants to inquire about the use case and background.
- A discussion on an issue or merge request is better clarified privately
In our specific case, we have users that request member access, but we can not grant it as we don't know anything about the User.
Proposal
What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
The definition of success would be that I am able to communicate with Users directly that are either part of a GitLab Group/Project or are requesting access to a Group/Project (at least).
