How to register an account on GitLab. Due to spam, new accounts are locked until approved by an admin or the approver bot. Your GitLab account gets automatically approved within one hour if you are a member of Trusted Contributors in Gerrit, or a member of the Trusted-Contributors group in Phabricator and linked your Developer account to your Phabricator account. If none of these apply, you can file an unlock request to expedite access.

stashbot includes this colon in the SAL username (example), which we don’t really want.
IMHO this seems easier than teaching stashbot to trim the colon; other logmsgbot messages also usually don’t have anything after the part that becomes the user name (e.g. “log jmm@cumin2002 START - Cookbook…”).
