Random example: T305284
The edit policy which is used.
When briefly taking a look at the code I was not capable of spotting where this comes from. Maybe it is a default value from the api which needs to be overriden with 'all users' or something like that.
Not limited to the maintenance bot, the Cloud VPS stretch deprecation tasks created by @StrikerBot have the same issue.
Found it. The default is coming from https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/applications/view/PhabricatorManiphestApplication/ and can be adjusted there by a Phab admin.
It seems like it was kind of intended?
It can be bypassed anyway, since anyone can just sub themself and then are covered by the edit policy.
Hmm, the setting that Majavah found has not been changed since 2019 (which makes me assume that nearly all Forms have a non-default setting) and its current setting probably had to do with vandalism.
Edit Policy of Form 96 is set to author, admins, subscribers, and members of { Trusted-Contributors | WMF-NDA }. That makes sense to me.
Which is exactly the same as in this task which seems to be hinting it should be made All users
not sure if requesting deployment training makes sense if you're not trusted but maybe I'm nitpicking here...
Maybe not but I'm fairly sure it's not deliberate and the cause is the same as this task.
