RFE: Request access for repo feature
Created by: mickep76
Normally the procedure for getting access to a repo. involves mailing the Owner(s) or creating a Ticket.
We have found this to be slow and sometime people are not accessible, also it doesn't provide a good Audit trail.
It would be preferable to have a workflow where you inside the tool can request access, like:
$ ssh git@gitlab request <repo> <role>
This then notifies the Owner(s) that can Grant this request.
$ ssh git@gitlab [grant|reject] <request id>
The advantage of this approach is that it better model's how permission's get assigned and it provides an Audit trail inside the tool.
This could obv. also be done via the GUI, command-line is just easier as an example.
