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).

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)

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)

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)

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)

Add Ori to MediaWiki group
It's mostly a formality, but it is highly weird we have a features engineer with +2 in core, but not the extensions.

Editor engagement owns MoodBar
I'd like to assign the developers of MoodBar to be able to +2 the MoodBar backlog. So that's a number of small changes (all related).


 * creation of the extension-MoodBar group
 * group membership of "editor-engagement" to MoodBar extension
 * me added explicitly to extesnion-Moodbar group
 * me added "editor-engagement" extensions groups (me added to the extension-$extension groups below)
 * Article Creation Workflow
 * ArticleFeedbackv5
 * ClickTracking
 * E3Experiments
 * Echo
 * PageTriage
 * UploadWizard
 * TimedMediaHandler

BTW, I already can empower individuals to the extension via "editor-engagement", but I need finer-grained control for some extensions so I can add people outside the WMF to some editor engagement extensions, but not all..

 * Jan, from Victor's comment, it sounds as though we are not accepting your request at this time. I infer from Victor's comment that you should submit patchsets that have more thorough tests associated with them, and that you should test others' patchsets more thoroughly before giving them +1 marks, and then request again.

As I understand it, the reason for not giving me merge rights is because I would supposedly go and merge my own stuff without discussion and break core. I understand that I should not merge my own code very well, and think I am quite responsible enough not to break things by being sloppy. I have merge rights to quite a few extensions, including WMF deployed ones, and AFAIK I have not merged in a single change that needed to be reverted since the git migration. So the argumentation against granting merge rights here seem invalid to me. At the very least, I'd like to ask for giving me a chance and revoking the right as soon as I merge in any of my own commits (which I guarantee you I will not do). --Jeroen De Dauw (talk) 20:07, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
 * It's not about merging your own changes, it's about about trust in general. We only give +2 access to people if the other reviewers trust their judgment. Once we actually have a process for revoking +2 access, I guess we could be more liberal about giving people access and taking it away from them if they break certain yet-to-be-determined rules, but right now we don't have such a process and we don't have those rules spelled out very well. So currently we can't really say "here's your access, but don't do X or we'll take it away", we can only say "here's your access, we're confident you'll use it well" or "sorry, you don't get merge access". I think that middle ground option should exist, and if and when it does that's what I'd vote to give you, but since it doesn't exist right now I'm voting conservatively. --Catrope (talk) 18:33, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Sure. I'm absolutely fine with you not doing a +1 on this, as we don't know each other very well and have never worked together, hence it seems rather hard for you to properly judge my sense of responsibility. However, you are giving a -1, which I'm rather curious to hear what it is based upon. When I joined the community 3 years ago I was very novice, had no clue how stuff worked, and thus messed things up. I'm getting the impression this is being held against me here. --Jeroen De Dauw (talk) 12:43, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
