Urbanecm_WMF subscribed.

I can see three calls on the codesearch link: one in includes/TalkpageManager.php and two in tests. The ones in tests shouldn't affect IP Masking in any way. The call in TalkpageManager works on the result of User::newSystemUser( FLOW_TALK_PAGE_MANAGER_USER, [ 'steal' => true ] ), which should never return a temporary user.

I think this is done then.
