Request membership in mediawiki-extensions-sudo group for OAuthority
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

Please make sure that you read and understood https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Privilege_policy , and provide all required information:

  • Your Gerrit username: OAuthority
  • The Gerrit repository or repositories to which access is required: MediaWiki-extensions-sudo
  • Your reason, including links to patches written and reviewed: I have written a patch for a bug that has been present in the extension for a number of years. The patch also corrects a major flaw in the extension: that Sudoers can sudo into a blocked users account; there's no need for this to occur since the extension was designed to assist with problems for users. I am requesting permissions as the maintainer and author is inactive. The extension could also do with some updating as a lot of the code inside has been depreciated and could do with replacing with the up-to-date code.

@OriginalAuthority: Could you please answer the last comment? Thanks in advance!

Apologies, I missed this — no, I haven't brought it up on the mailing list, I'm not entirely sure how to.

@OriginalAuthority Hi, I was referring to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Privilege_policy#Requesting_Gerrit_privileges - if there is something unclear, could you please elaborate on the Talk page? Thanks.

@Aklapper Thanks, I've "brought it up" on the mailing list.

👍

Sudo is a nice extension and it'd be cool if it had an active maintainer. I'm willing to help out with code review and whatnot if you need that.

Swinging back around to this; I brought it up on the mailing list but didn't recieve any feedback.

Thanks for volunteering to improve the extension! IMO it would be better to build more of a track record of contributions to it before asking for merge rights. If you get blocked on code reviews, you can also use the recently created code review board.

(Also you should get yourself added to the CI allowlist, it makes code review easier.)

@OriginalAuthority I'm boldly closing this task for now based on @Tgr's comment.
