~Goals

 * l10n/doc-publishing from GitLab
 * (blocker from: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T332953)
 * Doc publishing: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T336168
 * L10n: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T334419


 * Mediawiki permission models
 * (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T336807)
 * Not sprinty ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 * Arbitrary deadlines: June 7th


 * Phorge live in production
 * Phorge on devtools
 * Legalpad conflicts
 * Phab: "Spare box"? Running on test version of production database
 * Get DBA to create DB copy?
 * Run migrations on DB copy
 * Scap deploy
 * config, migrations, code changes


 * hand wavy Server migrations
 * ✅ Gerrit1003
 * Gerrit2002 (gerrit-replica)—upgrade Debian version; primary populates
 * Jenkins hosts uid fixed for Jenkins user
 * contint2001 primary: Jenkins, zuul, zuul-scheduler, zuul-merge, integration.wm.org/ci/zuul
 * uid task
 * switchover
 * [done by early June] Doc host Eoghan working on that one—rsync + PHP

Small things

 * Scap self-installer—spurious error messages
 * Library to "create releases" bump versions in a consistent way—scap, blubber duplicate code
 * Scap locks cleanup functionality
 * Automating CI-Jenkins

Questions

 * Are these things ready to move?
 * Are they clear?
 * Are the doable in the timeframe?
