Why did you tag the Language team?

I'd speculate that they thought your team owns the i18n and user language system inside MediaWiki, including Special:MyLanguage/ etc. routing controls, which https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developers/Maintainers#MediaWiki_core says. Is this not the case?

Indeed, I only tag Language team for a more precise triaging, given I was not sure about what project tags to add.

Anyway, I think this is actually something the Editing team would oversee in practice; happy to write a quick patch.

Yes and no. More detailed information is on https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/profile/18/#repos which says we are not working on that area even though we probably are considered de facto maintainers of it.

Adding Language-Team tag is appropriate for non-urgent tasks and we will look at that board in our triage meetings. After we triage a task and find a "home" for it, we remove the team tag, unless we plan to work on it in the same quarter.

I asked the question to see if there are implicit expectations about us doing something about the task – information that is good to know while triaging.

Does DiscussionTools need to be updated to support this, or does the VisualEditor patch resolve this in DT as well?

DiscussionTools uses VisualEditor's API for fetching edit notices, because there isn't one in core (T45683). (Ugh…) (Mobile apps do as well… ughhhh…)

Yeah, horrible cruft is horrible. Once T157658 is done this'll all be trivial, right? ;-(
