It looks like it is required to be part of the VTK group at developer level to be able to create a MR.
Is that intended ? The develop.md does not mention it at all.

Hm, I’ve not had problems creating MRs, and I’m not a member of the VTK group.
Though it was a year since I last created one, so maybe it’s broken between then and now?

Do you see the button “New merge request” button now ? Top right.

My bad, Without being a developer, you can only create a MR from your own fork, which is what one is supposed to do anyway, instead of going through the link I just posted.
