@thcipriani : Do you know who might be willing (and decisive) to follow Gerrit-Privilege-Requests? I'm afraid there might be a bit of a bottleneck here...

That policy is for adding or removing people to those groups, not granting those groups permissions.

Rereading the latter paragraphs of that section, that make sense, although the first sentence says requests "for the granting and revocation of related groups", which could be read more broadly (i.e. granting a group access to an extension). But, if that section is not intended to apply to that situation, that leaves open the question of what the policy is or should be for requesting granting permissions to groups. Is that adequately covered elsewhere in the documentation and I missed it?

And, thank you very much for acting on the request! :-)

I tried to clarify that with https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?diff=5038295&oldid=5017672&title=Gerrit%2FPrivilege_policy&type=revision

It's not explicitly stated, but historically requests for groups to be given +2 rights have just been processed as normal individual +2 requests are, e.g. T298277.
