Fundraising extensions
The Wikimedia Fundraising team would like to request ownership by the fundraising group for the following extensions:
 * CentralNotice
 * ContactPageFundraiser
 * ContributionReporting
 * DebianISOCodes
 * FundraiserLandingPage
 * LandingCheck

All of the above extensions were either written exclusively for fundraising or are part of the core fundraising infrastructure.

For those wondering about the ones we are "missing," we already have:
 * ContributionTracking
 * DonationInterface

Kaldari (Front-end)
I'd like to nominate Ryan Kaldari to join the mediawiki group. Ryan's been focused on front-end development, and with +2 rights he'd be able to help us keep up with front-end changes in core and extensions, which is currently an area that's under-resourced. I believe he can be trusted to apply his own judgment to not merge changes outside his areas of expertise.--Eloquence (talk) 18:13, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Matthias Mullie (Article Feedback Tool v5)
Matthias Mullie needs ownership rights on Article Feedback Tool v5 because he is slated to take over the project from OmniTi in July and replace Roan as primary deployer for this project needs merge rights to do this).

Merge Rights for Daniel Kinzler
Hi all

I would like merge rights for mediawiki/core/master and mediawiki/core/Wikidata. Since I had the right to commit to core in SVN, I supposed you can trust me with this.

Having these rights should help to ease the strain the Wikidata team puts on the core team, and also allows me to help out with the normal core review process for core.

-- Daniel Kinzler (WMDE) (talk) 14:19, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

In reply to some of the comments below: -- Daniel Kinzler (WMDE) (talk) 15:54, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty reluctant to submit anything to core just yet. I guess once i collected a bit more experience, i'll do it more often.
 * Whether I should be approving Wikidata-related changes - well, most of them are in our extensions, and we are reviewing them internally, as long as they are not deployed. And I am submitting/merging things there.
 * Core changes for wikidata should be rare and small once the WikiData branch has been merged. I'd not want to approve big changes to the core, but may merge the addition of a hook point or some such.
 * As to my rights on the Wikidata branch: apparently, I'm in the owner group and can submit, but I can't +2 changes, for some reason... maybe just an oversight.


 * I think we can trust him :) ^demon (talk) 15:35, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Although I'm not sure you should be doing the review of precisely WikiData commits, on whose development you are participating at the same time. Platonides (talk) 15:43, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Trusting Daniel to do some nice work. Please be careful since a merge in mediawiki/core is roughly equals to a deployment on the live site. Also you usually want to wait a bit to let a chance to other people to see the patches :-] Antoine &#34;hashar&#34; Musso (talk) 15:44, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Ownership for Wikidata is a no-brainer, it seems like he partially has it already but the permissions are messed up somehow. As for ownership of core, I don't think we should give this to someone who, by their own admission, is "reluctant to submit anything to core just yet" and doesn't need to approve anything in core except the occasional hook addition. If core changes for Wikidata are rare and small, I don't think they need a WD person with merge access, they can just go through the normal review process. So I'm gonna say yes to the Wikidata ownership request but no to the master request, unless someone convinces me otherwise. --Catrope (talk) 20:12, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
 * The core changes for Wikidata are huge and will require maintenance. That's why we're talking about a Wikidata branch, not a Wikidata extension. I think it's best if the person who looks after that code is physically present at WMDE. Daniel has been contributing to the MediaWiki core since 2006, I'm sure we can trust his judgement. -- Tim Starling (talk) 02:18, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Alright, that's fine then. I didn't realize the changes were that large. --Catrope (talk) 18:46, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
 * [branch/master] From his history, the code he submitted that I reviewed so far, and his cautiousness, I'm not really worried about +2 in master. I also think there is lots of stuff he could review in master, in theory. Once the branch is merged, as Tim said, there will be the maintenance factor. I expect that others might see breakage and make patches, of which it would be nice if he could merge. Aaron (talk) 17:04, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Project Ownership request for extensions: DiscussionThreading,NSFileRepo,NewUserNotif,StringFunctionsEscaped
Gerrit Username: Jpond  SVN/GIT ID: jdpond

It probably makes sense for me to at least be an authorized member, if not the owner for the following extensions(authored by me or got dumped into my lap). None of them have a current owner or any members. All are very stable, but still get update requests on their Talk pages and have corresponding bugzilla areas.


 * extension-DiscussionThreading: DiscussionThreading - a light weight forum-like extension to structure postings and replies on talk pages.  LiquidTheads is better, but this one works all the time and much less overhead.  Would like to sunset it, but several admins still have trouble gettin LQT working.
 * extension-NSFileRepo: NSFileRepo - Access protection based on Namespace for uploading and reading files/images
 * extension-NewUserNotif: NewUserNotif - New User Email Notification, Automatic email to admins when a new user registers (or needs approval)
 * extension-StringFunctionsEscaped: StringFunctionsEscaped - Allows String functions to work with escaped characters, e.g., \n, \t . ..

--jdpond (talk) 17:54, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Partially done; NSFileRepo is maintained by Jpond per the extension wiki page and Jpond is the one who requested the move into Git, so I've added Jpond as an owner for that Gerrit project. Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation Engineering Community Manager (talk) 19:34, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

editor-engagement to own extensions it already owns
The Editor Engagement and Experimentation teams already own a number of extensions through individual members, it makes sense to add (or change ownership to) the group membership (editor-engagement) where it can be managed instead of handling each person independently.

They are:
 * mediawiki/extensions/ArticleCreationWorkflow: add editor-engagement
 * mediawiki/extensions/ArticleFeedbackv5: add editor-engagement
 * mediawiki/extensions/ClickTracking: create clicktracking access group, add editor-engagement
 * mediawiki/extensions/E3Experiments: add editor-engagement
 * mediawiki/extensions/Echo: create echo access group, add editor-engagement and explicitly add werdna (he already has perms through mediawiki)
 * mediawiki/extensions/PageTriage: add editor-engagement
