ZD Ticket that spawned this: https://gitlab.zendesk.com/agent/tickets/103135 Repro Steps: 1. Create a repo. 1. Turn on project approvers. 1. Turn on self-approvers. 1. Add a readme. 1. Create a new branch "test-mr". 1. Create an update to readme. 1. Create MR named "Update Readme." 1. Approve MR. 1. Export Project. 1. Review project.json and see there is no data to correlate approver. Notes: Literally, we store a note that shows who approved it, but the UI on an imported instance will still ask for approvers. ``` "notes": [ { "attachment": { "url": null }, "author": { "name": "Lee Matos" }, "author_id": 695248, "change_position": null, "commit_id": null, "created_at": "2018-09-19T18:14:02.868Z", "discussion_id": "1a025866d818688034204dcb97cd2c8fbaa02a41", "events": [], "id": 102805157, "line_code": null, "note": "approved this merge request", "noteable_id": 16614825, "noteable_type": "MergeRequest", "original_position": null, "position": null, "project_id": 8461019, "resolved_at": null, "resolved_by_id": null, "resolved_by_push": null, "st_diff": null, "system": true, "updated_at": "2018-09-19T18:14:02.868Z", "updated_by_id": null } ], ``` See my sample project here with project.json output: + https://gitlab.com/lbot/project-export-approvers-test + https://gitlab.com/lbot/project-export-approvers-test/blob/master/project.json
