      Issue Summary

      • If there are user in gitlab which have an ambiguous name like following then which ever user is first in alphabetical order is reported as Author.
      xyz
zxyz
mxyz
axyz
      • It seems that following gitlab API is being used to fetch these users in Jira. This fetch all users matching expression "xyz"
      <gitlab-url>/api/v4/users?search=<emailorusername>
      • Instead following api should be used to get specific user information. 
        <gitlab-url>/api/v4/users?username=xyz

      This is reproducible on Data Center: no

      Steps to Reproduce

      NA

      Expected Results

      Dev tool sidebar is showing the wrong user for actions taken in GitLab. Instead of showing actions done by user "xyz", the DVCS-Connector seems to show the first in alphabetical order containing that username, hence showing "axyz" as "actor". 

      Following API should be used instead to get correct user information.

      <gitlab-url>/api/v4/users?username=xyz

      Actual Results

      The below exception is thrown in the xxxxxxx.log file:

       2024-02-16 16:35:04,746+0100 DVCSConnector.EventService:thread-1 WARN [c.a.j.p.d.spi.gitlab.GitLabCommunicator] Provided user identifier 'xyz' is ambiguous.
