Commit access requests



This page serves as a central location for users to request commit access to SVN. Please note that just because you've listed your name here doesn't mean that you'll get access. Final approval for access still lies with Brion and Tim.

'''Quick warning -- we haven't established a schedule for looking at this queue yet, so don't be worried if it takes a while to respond. --brion 22:16, 28 April 2009 (UTC)'''

Request format
Copy and paste the following text to the bottom of the list. Of course you can add extra information you think is relevant, but try to keep it simple and to the point.

=== User name === * Requested commit name: abcd * Expected area to work in: extensions, localization, etc * link to public key * Past work on MediaWiki - patches, extensions, bug reports, etc ~ (signature with date)

Happy-melon

 * Requested commit name: happy-melon
 * Expected area to work in: I generally do little tweaks, usually page layout and display of system messages. I'm having a play at a couple of extensions too: another special page to add to Oversight to allow old oversighted edits to be converted over to the new RevDelete format; and a total reboot of the DeleteQueue extension to make it a) work, and b) be suitable for consideration for use on enwiki.

I even managed to get a broken patch far enough through code review to bork the live wikis :D. But I now have a test wiki all to myself to destroy test patches on, so that shouldn't be a problem now... honest... Happy ‑ melon 17:36, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

algorithmix

 * Requested commit name: algorithmix
 * Expected area to work in: extensions
 * I am the primary maintainer of Extension:DynamicPageList. At the moment I publish new releases on my own website. Somebody was so kind to upload the latest version of DPL to the MW svn. Now I want commit access there to make the MW svn repository the master place for further publications of DPL.
 * link to my Public Key
 * link to DynamicPageList at MediaWiki svn
 * I think that my extension could be very useful on wikipedia installations. I understand that some people might be afraid of DPL being critical in terms of performance. What can I do to prove that you can get the benefits of DPL without risk? Algorithmix 07:45, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Just a comment. . . although the amount of work you've put into making MediaWiki better software is very commendable, your view on things is often radically different from the rest of us. You have an awful lot of bugs marked INVALID or WONTFIX. Given this, I think it would be prudent if you still had to get patches approved by existing developers, until we can all be confident that we see eye-to-eye and you won't commit things that everyone else will find problematic. —Simetrical (talk • contribs) 00:35, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
