Update StrikerBot Developer, SUL, and related accounts to email folks besides just bd808
Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

Striker uses multiple accounts to automate actions in external systems. These include:

Currently these accounts are connected to @bd808's WMF email account. This should be changed so that more folks than @bd808 get notifications of things like T395694: Rotate StrikerBot GitLab PAT before it expires on 2025-07-29. Since StrikerBot is closely tied to Toolforge, one solution could be using a shared alias like admin.strikerbot@toolforge.org as the registered email for these accounts. That will use the https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Toolforge/Email system to broadcast to all members of the admin tool when new messages arrive.

@bd808: Apparently I can't log in to the StrikerBot SUL account because the MediaWiki-extensions-EmailAuth token is being sent to your inbox. Could you please handle that account?

The developer account and GitLab account have been updated.

I did not find any UI for updating the email set for the @StrikerBot account.

I forwarded you the code before seeing this. Yes, I will login and change the account's email.

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/StrikerBot is now using admin.strikerbot@toolforge.org as it's confirmed email address.

I ran UPDATE phabricator_user.user_email SET address = "admin.strikerbot@toolforge.org" WHERE userPHID = "PHID-USER-osw2bumzx5lwf3mf65t3"; similar to T331703 in the Phab database to work around T396881.
