Hi @mvisonneau

thanks a lot for this script.
Unfortunately I get an exception:
$ python gitlab_to_jira.py -> Creating issue : Stop merge auch bei verschiedenen Postleitzahlen zulassen Traceback (most recent call last): File "gitlab_to_jira.py", line 40, in <module> 'description': "Created by " + issue.author.name + " at " + issue.created_at + " :\n" + str(issue.description), AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'name'

Maybe you have an idea?
