I would like to nominate WMDE-Leszek to be able to create new Gerrit groups.
Currently at WMDE I am the only person that can do this (that I know of), and I gained the ability while requesting access to create repos in T185594.
Leszek is in a more sensible position to be the person creating & modifying these groups.
I guess the solution for this would again be to add leszek to https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/admin/groups/119,members unless there is a more appropriate group.
We could add the user to this https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/admin/groups/119,members group which will grant them "create repos" and "create groups" rights in addition to other rights.
Create groups or create repositories? I don't know why anyone would need permissions for the former without the latter.
Create groups specifically.
This is so that he can manage the users in our wmde-* groups that we use for easy adding of reviewers for patches for various projects / teams rather than me (im currently the only other person at WMDE that can do this afaik).
Just removing overhead and delays.
Mentioned in SAL (#wikimedia-releng) [2018-11-21T20:49:37Z] <hashar> gerrit: added WMDE-leszek to group "Gerrit Managers" https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/admin/groups/119,members | T200311
The group Gerrit Manager is used on All-Projects.git, that is usually the ancestor of all projects (operations/* are on their own iirc).
That grants the ability to create and delete projects, edit any repos configuration, C+2/V+2 anywhere https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/admin/projects/All-Projects,access
@WMDE-leszek in the Web UI you should now see in the menu: Projects → Create Project
Some documentation about access control:
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/Documentation/access-control.html
Don't forget to set a parent project when creating a new one. Eg mediawiki/extensions/WikibaseLux should have for parent mediawiki/extensions
