Description

This PR adds the missing backup metadata fields, specifically:

  • created_by_email = "lp_user@example.com"
  • origin_server = "cms.test"

These fields are now included in the package.toml file as part of the backup metadata and will be used by the restore endpoint.

Motivation

The restore process depends on these metadata fields to properly identify the backup source and author information.

- Add original_server, created_by_email, and created_by_full_name

Why do we need to disable a pylint check here?

Should we change to use get_user_model?

Hi guys, I replaced direct User imports with UserType for type hints and get_user_model() for runtime queries

Sorry, this one is totally my fault: Please remove the full name in the output, since we store that in a non-standard way that only exists in edx-platform and not openedx-learning.

if user:
metadata.add("created_by", user.username)
metadata.add("created_by_email", user.email)
metadata.add("created_by_full_name", user.get_full_name())

Argh, I forgot again that what we do with User is weird and edx-platform specific with our UserProfile holding the full name. Please just remove the full name for now and stick with username and email. Thank you.
