Hey I realize this is a very old topic now, but this plugin is really interesting. This is exactly what I’m looking for but I’m just curious about how the existing discourse users will be connected to Gitlab account.  
For example, Gitlab’s OAuth allows a logged in user to connect their Google, Facebook, or Github accounts in their settings, is there something similar in this plugin for discourse to gitlab as well?
