Talk:Gerrit/Project ownership

Making it easier for people to change ownership
sumanah: well you got approval from tim chay and they are the one developing the extension. I am not sure why we need all that paper work :) .... we have some staff people that wrote an extension and we are creating a group for them so they can approve their own change. I fail to see why it should not be approved." (just now in IRC)

I think existing Gerrit project owners should just add more owners to their own extensions, if they want, and leave a "here's what I did" note on Git/Gerrit project ownership as an audit trail. Any objections? Sharihareswara (WMF) (talk) 16:00, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I think that makes sense for smaller projects. For core and deployed extensions I'd prefer to stick to the existing process. --Catrope (talk) 21:11, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

Removing un-wiki part of this policy
I think vetos are a terrible idea, and are totally un-wiki. They allow a single user to keep someone from having access when there's otherwise clear consensus. I've been bold, and changed policy. I hope this will be entirely uncontroversial. ^demon (talk) 19:06, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Good change, I agree that vetos are inappropriate - we work off consensus for most other things, and this should be no different. The  helpful  one  19:08, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Wow. I was actually discussing proposing more or less this change with someone else yesterday. Obviously, I also strongly support it. -- Krenair (talk &bull; contribs) 19:15, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
