Grant +2 on mediawiki and extensions to Rosalie Perside (WMDE)
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Rosalie is a developer (formerly intern) at WMDE. As Rosalie's manager at WMDE, I confirm this by submitting this request.
Please grant her +2 permissions on mediawiki/*, to align with other WMDE developers.

Her Gerrit/LDAP username is: Rosalie Perside (WMDE).

Technically speaking, it probably entails adding Rosalie's user account to wmde-mediawiki group on Gerrit.

Event Timeline

Note: This request can benefit from the expedited process for granting access.

Thanks @MarcoAurelio, that's indeed WMDE's intention. We were not sure should we be pointing to the process in the request.

BUMP given it has been a month since this request was open.

@Aklapper do you have any advise who could we subscribe/ping in Gerrit group requests like this one? Thanks!

@WMDE-leszek: (I think) I also brought this up in T234124#5569857 as it's not too clear to me who is supposed to decide and act in a reasonible (?) time frame.
If handing out permissions is perceived as a bottleneck, I'd recommend emailing wikitech-l@...

As I stated on T237101#5626664 this can be done directly by any of the current gerrit admins: https://tools.wmflabs.org/ldap/group/gerritadmin. The bottleneck here, I feel, is that we need more involvement with the current rights holders in monitoring both MediaWiki-Gerrit-Group-Requests and Gerrit-Privilege-Requests. Even regular mediawiki +2 requests are meant to be resolved within one week if there are no objections.

tstarling claimed this task.
tstarling subscribed.

Done. Note that the "expedited process" states that it is not necessary to file a Phabricator task. I would not recommend filing a task.

I mean, you could just directly contact your local friendly Gerrit admin. If that admin is me, I don't really need a task, I'm happy to just act on an email or IRC message, as I did in this case. For other administrators, whether a task is needed would depend on their workflow. In Gerrit-Privilege-Requests we now have a workboard in which you can flag tasks as being ready for administrator action. That would probably be a good workflow for this project as well. But for onboarding, it's potentially slow.

Thanks @tstarling for the action. And even more thanks for the explanation. We've noted it here, and we'll be trying out the non-Phabricator worflow the next time. I can surely see how skipping the Phabricator might be more efficient.
