Are general pyra users allowed accounts on dev.pyra-handheld.com ?

[alavaliant]

I tried to sign up for an account on dev.pyra-handheld.com over a week ago (so I could potentially post bug reports against packages etc) but if I try to login I'm still getting told "Your account is pending approval from your GitLab administrator and hence blocked. Please contact your GitLab administrator if you think this is an error."

I'm unsure if somebody has missed approving it? Or if I'm going the wrong direction and only core developers get accounts on there?

my account there is old now. You should be able to create an account, just like everyone else. There's no definition of "core developer". Anyone willing to contribute is welcome.
EDIT: @EvilDragon you might want to have a look there

They added the "approve" part because there were a lot of spambot applying, the best would be to send ED a PM I think.

Yeah, I wanted to post a sticky here on the boards as well.
The problem is that I receive 30 approval requests per day and it's hard to find out which user is legit and who isn't. Well, for most it's obvious - but not for all.
Therefore, registering and then PM'in me the username / email address so I can approve it would be useful.

Thanks for the clarification, I've direct messaged you confirmation of my registered account on dev.pyra-handheld.com

I'd suggest a line of text in on the dev.pyra-handheld.com site itself about how to get your account approved would also make things a lot clearer for users like myself.

necro, +1 for line of text somewhere about account approval, i tried to sign up when i got my pyra in october and then promptly forgot about it after seeing that it needed approval
