Can I be added to acl*Project-Admins?

As the Product Manager of the Content-Transform-Team I'll be re-shaping our boards and milestones constantly. That would include Parsoid, Parsoid-Read-Views, and Content-Transform-Team-WIP.

Hey,

Can I get added to acl*Project-Admins, please? Currently my team can't create sprints because the people with the correct privileges are out on leave. We should reduce the bus factor, as this will likely happen every summer holiday season.

Cheers!

Guten Tag, I have added you to the access list!

@Hany.elmokadem: Done, though I can only assume your involvement as https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/p/Hany.elmokadem/ provides no hints about your affiliation. :) In case you have a Developer Account, linking that LDAP account via https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/external/ would be welcome.

Hi there, requesting for myself and @Biyanto-ESEAP to ACL Project Admin to manage project/sub-projects at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/profile/8165/, which was created with T403908.

Hello,

The Wikidata Platform team was just staffed in August and is taking over ownership of the Wikidata Query Service Phabricator project from the Search Platform team. We - myself and our Tech Lead, @gmodena - would like to join acl*Project-Admins so we can use Phabricator to manage that project. Specifically, we need access to planning features, such as the creation of Milestones and Subprojects for work/sprint tracking. Without the proper permissions, we have a dependency on the Search Platform team to create these views for us. We have aligned with @Gehel and team on transferring the project.
