Description

Since https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/ladsgroup/Phabricator-maintenance-bot/-/merge_requests/23 in March 2025 (and later https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/ladsgroup/Phabricator-maintenance-bot/-/merge_requests/30 in September 2025), the MW-Interfaces-Team project has been automatically added when a public Phabricator task (with recent activity) contains one of several tags for components that're stewarded by MWI.

However - from Ctrl+F-ing https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developers/Maintainers for the word "interfaces" - it seems like there are still a couple of MWI-stewarded components that don't currently have MW-Interfaces-Team automatically added to their public tasks: MediaWiki-libs-Rdbms & MediaWiki-Core-JobQueue (though, tasks tagged with WMF-JobQueue do).

So I guess my question is, should tasks tagged with MediaWiki-libs-Rdbms or MediaWiki-Core-JobQueue also be automatically tagged with the MW-Interfaces-Team Phab project?

Thanks for the catch, @A_smart_kitten :) I actually didn't realize that MediaWiki-Core-JobQueue was another tag in use. We will definitely get that added to our board.

Regarding MediaWiki-libs-Rdbms, we will not pull that in for now. There is a well established group of people who keep an eye on that board, so although tickets end up on our plate fairly frequently, we aren't the sole owners at this time.

I added MediaWiki-Core-JobQueue to the maintenance bot script yesterday and the change was merged. Marking this as resolved.

Thanks :D

Fair enough. Would you say there's any general guidance for when an RDBMS-library-related ticket should be tagged for MW-Interfaces-Team? E.g., I manually tagged T404932 for MWI's attention as I happened to come across it & it seemed like a proposal that might want/need code-steward approval/attention, but I'm not sure what the general thoughts around manually tagging tasks like this might be :)
