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.

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 * Past programming experience - other open source projects, etc. ~ (signature with date)

You must have an email address registered in your mediawiki.org preferences before your request will be approved.

Completed requests
Generally when requests are completed, an announcement e-mail is sent to wikitech-l and the Developers page is updated.

 * list of bugs reported I've submitted a few patches, but none have been accepted. (well except for  but thats such a minor thing it doesn't really count). Also created a very small extension for use with a specific website - Extension:Whitelist Namespaces.

 * Requested commit name: jonwilliford

 * Most of my work has just been with creating extensions that I use at http://neurov.is/on. I have made some changes to the mediawiki wiki, although they have been minor (contributions).
 * I've worked in software engineering for many years, although mainly with C++. I have a Masters in computer science.  I have created several open source projects (http://code.google.com/p/synapse-lang/, http://code.google.com/p/biovis-lib/, http://code.google.com/p/mediawiki-refhelper/) and I have participated in WorldForge.org project a long time back.

Conrad.Irwin (cirwin on IRC)

 * Requested commit name: conrad
 * Expect to work in core, already have commit access in extensions.
 * Public key.
 * Maintain a small wiki farm with MediaWiki as a CMS, a few extensions for them, [1], and for en.wiktionary [2], [3]. A few patches, e.g. 1, 2, some committed, e.g. 3 4
 * Past programming experience, mainly involved with web stuff, 1, 2, 3, currently in year 3 of a computer science degree.


 * If you've already got commit access, you don't necessarily need to re-ask for core rights here. Probably can just poke Tim to tweak the authz file. ^demon 11:45, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't think he has, though...? Happy ‑ melon 13:36, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
 * He does unless this conrad is someone else and Conrad here is confused about already having access. :) ^demon 01:09, 30 December 2009 (UTC)


 * That would be quite confused, I admit! Nothing wrong with having a marker here, though. Happy ‑ melon 09:58, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
