+### Note
+
+When we are importing Issues/Pull Requests we try to find the original
+author or assignee using the Github Id, but for this to work the original
+author or assignee should had signed in before on the GitLab instance and
+associated their GitHub account. If we don’t find the user in our database
+we set the project creator (most of the times the current user that started
+the import process) as the author but we keep a reference on the issue
+about the original author.
