+2 on mediawiki/* to SomeRandomDeveloper
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

I would like to propose granting +2 on mediawiki/* to @SomeRandomDeveloper. They started contributing 1.5 years ago and contributed to a lot of areas of core and the extensions. They also did structured reviews of security issues in extensions and created more than 100 tasks covering these. Also they recently started refactoring the EditPage logic, which was a long overdue, in which one can see their technical understanding of the MediaWiki codebase (see T157658). I trust that granting him +2 access will help him make MediaWiki and the Wikimedia wikis even better.

I see unanimous support here so I've granted access. Usual reminder: please check https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Privilege_policy to see what is and isn't acceptable use of these new powers.

Thanks @taavi, and thanks everyone for the support!
