My older contributions are available via git log --author simetrical. I couldn't find a webpage that would display the results of the search that I could link to. Note that that includes things from the SVN era that I only committed and didn't author, so it's inflated (probably only slightly). But if we leave that aside, according to git shortlog -sne, I have 1052 commits (after updating .mailmap to merge the three different e-mail addresses I've used). Surprisingly, this still makes me the #19 all-time contributor by number of commits. I think I always tended to break up my commits more than a lot of people, though.

I should add that lately I've been contracting for Wikimedia for about seven weeks a year, and have been working 30-40 hours a week during those periods. When not contracting, I'm completely inactive.

It's been seven days, and seemingly no objections. It would be useful for me to have +2 rights now just to re-submit patches I've written that failed gate-and-submit due to flaky tests or non-substantive reasons ("HHVM doesn't like syntax X"). I seem to have a lot of those, and right now I have to wait for someone else to deal with it.

@Simetrical if this hasn't happened by the time you come back, let me know.

We're just waiting for a Gerrit admin now right?

group-mediawiki is indeed owned by Administrators but https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/admin/groups/1,members says we have none but the dummy gerrit account. I guess [[ https://tools.wmflabs.org/ldap/group/gerritadmin | ldap/gerritadmin ]] people could do it? I'm not sure which system is in place now.

I must also note that the policy as currently written references to https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/admin/groups/119,members as the group of people able to "resolve the request" (sic), which is not true as Gerrit Managers do not have the ability to add or remove people from mediawiki. Looks like the link has to be changed either to point to https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/admin/groups/1,members or https://tools.wmflabs.org/ldap/group/gerritadmin (cc. @tstarling ).

The wording in the policy is overly specific. The intent was to say that these requests can be handled by whoever has the necessary permissions. When we wrote the policy, that was the admin group, but this as since changed. The policy should be amended accordingly.

@TheDJ modified the policy from group 1 to group 119 without approval, so that change just needs to be reverted.

If there is a consensus of trusted developers on the Phabricator task, any of the [https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/admin/groups/1,members Gerrit administrators] can resolve the request.

Of which my point was, that link leads you to 1 administrative email address, not a list of people. And then i got lost by gerrit's permission model trying to correct that question.
