So, you were added via the old process, and then in the last couple weeks
hit the account rename bug.

You were added before <https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/25700/> was
implemented. Now when a user is given shell they are automatically added to
the bastion. We should likely run a maintenance script to add everyone in
the shell group to the bastion project (added bug 43508), so that others
users in your situation don't run into this problem.
