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 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)

Editor Engagement (meta-group)
This is a request for a new meta-group to be created for the Editor Engagement and the Editor Engagement Experimentation team (as they will be working on the same extensions). Instead of individually assigning extension access (for things like Page Triage) to each member, we can just request the meta-group be given control (like Fundraising does with the DonationInterface).

Group members:
 * Ryan Kaldari (already in the mediawiki group, but can't hurt)
 * Andrew Garret (already in the mediawiki group, but can't hurt)
 * Benny Situ
 * Ori Livneh
 * Matthias Mullie

This is not a request that the meta-group be given ownership of anything (yet).

 * I don't see this listed in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/admin/projects/ . Have you requested an import into Gerrit yet, via Git/New repositories or Git/Conversion/Extensions queue? Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation Engineering Community Manager (talk) 00:26, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Add editor-engagement as included group for extension-UploadWizard
Upload Wizard has no love in the WMF. This is temporary until multimedia spins up later this year, at which point we'll probably have a "multimedia" group and I'll assign the reassign privs to that group. Tychay (talk) 22:54, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

iAlex for MediaWiki core ownership
Siebrand suggests iAlex for MediaWiki core ownership.


 * iAlex is one of the core contributors. He has an extensive knowledge about all the MediaWiki codebase and is a defacto a better reviewer than me. So yeah definitely welcome to come in the cabal :-D (just remember to not self merge!) Antoine &#34;hashar&#34; Musso (talk) 08:29, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

Semantic MediaWiki group
repo: extensions/SemanticMediaWiki

A new group named SemanticMediaWiki or SMW-trusted or whatever, next to our existing extension owner group. This group should be able to


 * Merge in stuff of others (but not themselves)
 * Push tags
 * Create branches (and if possible be able to merge their own commits to these)

Initial members:


 * Kghbln
 * Nischayn22
 * Mwjames
 * yaron
 * Foxtrott
 * Daniel Werner
 * Denny Vrandecic

Ideally this group would be manageable (both permission and member wise) by either the extension-SemanticMediaWiki group or both Markus and me. --Jeroen De Dauw (talk) 15:19, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

And a similar group for extensions/SemanticResultFormats with same rights and same initial members.

 * SMW isn't a WMF extension so I don't see a problem with this. Tychay (talk) 22:57, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah more Semantic people :-] Antoine &#34;hashar&#34; Musso (talk) 08:28, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Why not. Maybe this will reduce the self-merges. --Nikerabbit (talk) 11:26, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Not completely possible right now - We can do the branch creations, review, and tagging. But limiting it to "only people other than yourself" requires some Prolog-writing. There's a commit pending upstream for a "Prolog cookbook" to illustrate how to do this and other things. ^demon (talk) 12:42, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Then please create the stuff without this restriction - if that works in core, it will probably work here as well --Jeroen De Dauw (talk) 18:12, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Will do. It'll take me a little bit to sort all this out properly, but I'll get to it this week. ^demon (talk) 22:47, 6 August 2012 (UTC)


 * ✅ Ok, I think I've got everything sorted out here. Please let me know if you've got any problems or need the permissions tweaked further. ^demon (talk) 18:27, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks! --Jeroen De Dauw (talk) 22:31, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

Deployment Branch Access for Ori.livneh
My Gerrit username is Ori.livneh. I intend to only use this to sync the E3Experiments extension to master. I was granted deployment rights in RT: 3325. --Ori.livneh (talk) 21:50, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
 * ✅ Confirmed you already have deploy access, so this group is a no-brainer. ^demon (talk) 17:14, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks! --Ori.livneh (talk) 23:49, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Group Request: Multimedia
Request that a group "multimedia" be created. Made group owner of the TimedMediaHandler and UploadWizard extensions (also keep "editor-engagement" as owner for UploadWizard). Group owner/member should be RobLa. Tychay (talk) 20:00, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
 * ✅ Group created, and given the requisite permissions. RobLa's the initial member, and he'll be able to manage it via his "Project and Group Creators" role he's already a member of. ^demon (talk) 18:55, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

Move branch svg-chart to be new master, get rid of old master (orgcharts)
master has never been used for orgcharts, because A) by the time it was on Gerrit, I had moved to a separate branch for all development and B) the master branch won't merge easily with the svg-chart branch anymore. I've totally abandoned anything in master, so I'd just like svg-chart to be moved over, if possible. MarkTraceur (talk) 21:49, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

CURRENT STATUS: User:^demon said he'd fix it this week (before 2012-07-21, presumably).
 * We fixed the branch, but HEAD is still pointing at the wrong place. Filed ticket in RT for Ryan to fix. ^demon (talk) 12:42, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

DumpHTML
I'd like to become a project owner for mediawiki/extensions/DumpHTML. I'm using it actively at my site (http://spiele.j-crew.de). I just submitted a few changes to unbreak the extension (it has been broken in SVN/Git since several months). My Gerrit username is tbleher. Best regards -- Tbleher (talk) 15:38, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

Santhosh for MediaWiki core ownership
Siebrand suggests Santhosh for MediaWiki core ownership.


 * I think this is a bit early because Santhosh hasn't contributed to MW core very much (11 merged commits, 1 pending, and a handful of reviews of others' code AFAICT), but he's on the right track, and with more activity I could see him getting merge rights in the future. --Catrope (talk) 23:48, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

+2 for Mark Holmquist on mediawiki/extensions/UploadWizard
I'd like to request +2 rights for Mark Holmquist (MarkTraceur) on mediawiki/extensions/UploadWizard. We're doing a sprint from 8/20 to 8/31 to implement high priority fixes and improvements ahead of Wiki Loves Monuments. Mark has been casually reviewing code across MediaWiki for a couple of months now, and has authored many patches, especially for UW. I think it's time for him to be able to merge code (and live with the consequences :-).--Eloquence (talk) 18:28, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
 * For selfish reasons, I agree with this idea. I also question whether it's wise for me to want this. Even so, it would be nice to have. Thanks! --MarkTraceur (talk) 22:57, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

Submit right for everyone
Right now one cannot submit a change to core even when it's been verified and +2'd. This happens when someone +2's and hits the wrong button or +2's before the change has been verified and then forgets about it. Rather silly you can't submit then and have to poke someone with the rights :) --Jeroen De Dauw (talk) 19:12, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Absolutely not. There are many reasons why you might +2 something but not be ready to press Submit yet. Looking at Gerrit, I only see 10 changes that are +2 but not submitted...and all of them fall into one of the following 3 categories:
 * Needs a rebase/there's conflicts
 * Has unresolved dependencies
 * Someone has explicitly said "please don't submit this just yet"
 * Submitting a change is a big deal because that's what actually merges the change into the destination branch, so yeah, opening this up to everyone is a bad idea. ^demon (talk) 18:16, 10 August 2012 (UTC)


 * If there is a conflict or unresolved dependency, you cannot submit anyway. "please don't submit this just yet" should be a -2. So none of these seem like a valid argument against handing out this right. --Jeroen De Dauw (talk) 22:30, 11 August 2012 (UTC)


 * And I've yet to see a reason why it should be granted. The only reason you gave is one that simply isn't happening. This is a solution in search of a problem. ^demon (talk) 16:33, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Agree with Chad, there's no good reason to disconnect submit rights from +2 rights. --Catrope (talk) 17:58, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Bawolff for mediawiki/extensions/intersection
I'd like merge rights for intersection. I've been effectively the maintainer of that extension for the last 3 years (not that I've done very much to it) [obviously I wouldn't merge my own code]. Bawolff (talk) 21:42, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
