Update Bitbucket.org migration docs for user mapped contributions

Daphne Kua requested to merge docs-dkua-bitbucket-migration into master

What does this MR do?

This MR updates the docs for Bitbucket.org migration to GitLab.com for user mapped contributions.

@hchouraria and I went through the Bitbucket migration codebase and also tested on our test instance, and found out that the Bitbucket nickname that is required by our docs is now referring to Atlassian's Public name. This means that individual users would need to update their Public name to match the extern_uid that we save for the user contributions to be mapped accordingly during the project import.

This MR came about when a user (internal ZD ticket) followed our docs closely and was not able to get the user contributions mapped to the original author/assignee.

The customer followed through with the new instructions, got the users to update their Public name if necessary, and confirmed that the user mapped contributions were successful.

Screenshots of test instance

My Bitbucket username on https://bitbucket.org/account/settings/ is yongtaufoo: image

I ran an API call on one of my pull requests with the username yongtaufoo: image

The API response return with the Bitbucket nickname of yongtaufou (note the different spelling, with the u at the back): image

yongtaufou (note the different spelling, with the u at the back) is the Public name of my Atlassian account on https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/profile-and-visibility: image

Author's checklist

If you are only adding documentation, do not add any of the following labels:

  • ~"frontend"
  • ~"backend"
  • ~"type::bug"
  • ~"database"

These labels cause the MR to be added to code verification QA issues.

Review checklist

Documentation-related MRs should be reviewed by a Technical Writer for a non-blocking review, based on Documentation Guidelines and the Style Guide.

  • If the content requires it, ensure the information is reviewed by a subject matter expert.
  • Technical writer review items:
    • Ensure docs metadata is present and up-to-date.
    • Ensure the appropriate labels are added to this MR.
    • If relevant to this MR, ensure content topic type principles are in use, including:
      • The headings should be something you'd do a Google search for. Instead of Default behavior, say something like Default behavior when you close an issue.
      • The headings (other than the page title) should be active. Instead of Configuring GDK, say something like Configure GDK.
      • Any task steps should be written as a numbered list.
      • If the content still needs to be edited for topic types, you can create a follow-up issue with the docs-technical-debt label.
  • Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the reviews above. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
  • Ensure a release milestone is set.
