Will branch cut for 1.30.0-wmf.3 today in an optimistic attempt keep branching on schedule; however, I will not deploy it anywhere until T166345: wmf/1.30.0-wmf.2 performance issue for Wikipedias has been resolved and 1.30.0-wmf.2 is live on all wikis.

Mentioned in SAL (#wikimedia-operations) [2017-05-30T17:55:41Z] <thcipriani> branching 1.30.0-wmf.3 T165957

Had some trouble with the make-wmf-branch script. It seems that the AccountAudit extension repo was set to read-only in gerrit: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/admin/projects/mediawiki/extensions/AccountAudit

So when I ran make-wmf-branch, I got:

[thcipriani@tin AccountAudit (wmf/1.30.0-wmf.3)]$ git push origin wmf/1.30.0-wmf.3
Total 0 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
remote: Processing changes: refs: 1, done
To https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/AccountAudit
 ! [remote rejected] wmf/1.30.0-wmf.3 -> wmf/1.30.0-wmf.3 (prohibited by Gerrit)
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/AccountAudit'

Unclear if setting it to readonly was a mistake, or if branching it was a mistake. If the latter was the mistake, it should be removed from core 1.30.0-wmf.3 as well as removed from https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-tools-release/blob/master/make-wmf-branch/config.json#L4

T163791: Archive the AccountAudit extension was done recently.

If changing make-wmf-script should be covered by the steps on mw:Gerrit/Inactive projects, please feel free to add a bullet point on that page.

Is there any chance of this happening? If not, what does this mean for wmf.4?
