I was the person coordinating the efforts to get the Serbo-Croatian language converter that @Aca made over the finish line. Reflecting on that process and my later interactions with @Winston_Sung (he is one of few people with knowledge in this area), I can only say positive things about his help.

He provided constructive criticism and discussed with us to help us understand the specifics on this less-understood part of the code-base. I was impressed to see his principled and opinionated approach to code review, something I feel is unfortunately too rare. All while engaging in dialog, being open to other approaches and generally a pleasant conversation partner.

Although Winston was helpful, I am certain that had the patch not ended up meeting his standards, he would not have given his +1. I feel confident that given +2 rights, @Winston_Sung would use these thoughtfully and responsibly, and I hope that we can soon see him use them in action.

Happy to see LanguageConverter getting some volunteer love! 👍

I strongly believe that Winston will be a great addition to the team! Based on the previous cooperation, I got the impression that he is a very accommodating and reliable contributor. These privileges will help him better manage tasks in the language converter area.

I endorse. I recently worked with @Winston_Sung on changes to meta tags across all wiki pages that were impacting Chinese Wikipedia (T54429). Given the riskiness of such a change I was impressed with our exchange there and how the resulting code was much better. I agree with the assessment that Winston would use +2 rights thoughtfully and responsibly based on what I've seen there. Language-related patches account for many of our open Gerrit patches so hopefully more stewardship in the area will help.
