Sumana Harihareswara is coordinating 20% time effort. The highest priority is the Gerrit merge queue, especially for backlogged components such as UploadWizard and ProofreadPage, and secondarily patches awaiting review in Bugzilla for MediaWiki or [https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&component=AbuseFilter&component=AntiSpoof&component=Babel&component=CategoryTree&component=CentralAuth&component=CentralNotice&component=CharInsert&component=CheckUser&component=Cite&component=CodeReview&component=Collection&component=ConfirmEdit%20%28CAPTCHA%20extension%29&component=Contest&component=CustomUserSignup&component=DismissableSiteNotice&component=EasyTimeline&component=ExpandTemplates&component=ExtensionDistributor&component=FlaggedRevs&component=Gadgets&component=GlobalBlocking&component=GlobalUsage&component=ImageMap&component=Inputbox&component=LabeledSectionTransclusion&component=LiquidThreads&component=LocalisationUpdate&component=Math%20%28texvc%29&component=MobileFrontend&component=MWSearch&component=Nuke&component=OAI&component=OggHandler&component=OpenSearchXml&component=Oversight&component=PagedTiffHandler&component=ParserFunctions&component=PdfHandler&component=Poem&component=PoolCounter&component=Renameuser&component=RSS&component=SecurePoll&component=SiteMatrix&component=Spam%20Blacklist&component=SyntaxHighlight%20%28GeSHi%29&component=TitleBlacklist&component=TitleKey&component=TorBlock&component=Vector&component=WikiEditor&component=WikiHiero&component=WikiLove&keywords=patch%2C%20patch-need-review%2C%20&keywords_type=allwords&product=MediaWiki%20extensions&query_format=advanced&resolution=---&query_based_on=MW%20extensions%20with%20patches%20that%20need%20review&columnlist=bug_severity%2Cpriority%2Cassigned_to%2Cbug_status%2Cresolution%2Cshort_desc%2Cchangeddate%2Ckeywords%2Ccomponent&list_id=48929 WMF-deployed extensions].
