Description Lars Vogel

I tried to merge https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/46455/ but I get the message "The author must register with Gerrit".

What does that mean?

The author has since changed their email address, so now Gerrit does not know who they are.

The commit will have to be altered/amended to change the Author, or abandoned and a new change created.  Unfortunately, our email address change process can't update Gerrit history.

Thanks Denis, I pick up the change and push it directly in this case.
