As one of the people who currently deploys code for addshore out of the normal processes, I endorse this request!

addshore knows what he's doing (or can figure it out, knows when to ask for help). It would be helpful to have another deployer from WMDE

Change 299032 had a related patch set uploaded (by Dzahn):
admin: add addshore to deployers

Approve.

I think addshore personally is trustworthy for production access.

Management at WMDE disagreed with that. They said it should be done by WMF.

Can you clarify/elaborate on that? The language you used here implies (potentially) a change in expectations between these organizations without an explicit communication.

I want to clarify. One thing I am certain about was that the APG grant was referred to. One example of what I said before was the recent deployment of the RevisionSlider extension, I was told explicitly that the WMF should, would and agreed to handle Security and RelEng tasks including deployment related to it.
Can you point to the explicit communication regarding the expectations? Can you point to explicit communication of confirmation of it by WMDE management? That would make it easier for me to point out mismatches.

That's actually my question for you :), because your statement sounded like a new edict.

I want clarification if my interpretation of your "Management at WMDE disagreed with [having another deployer at WMDE]" statement (my interpretation being: that WMDE does not wish to encourage their software developers to be involved with the deployment of their software) is correct or not.

This has been merged. I guess @gerritbot didn't like the missing Bug: in the commit message?
