A few hours in advance is unfortunately very short notice. Preferably this should happen a wekk in advance.

If you think your request has gone unnoticed and the event is about to start, go to the IRC channel #wikimedia-tech on Freenode IRC and ask for help (general information on using IRC).

Wrong day and wrong time.. Most people are sleeping at this time and this is a "no deploy week". I'll try to get a patch up and will try to find someone with deploy access (hard to find at this hour)

In the future, please make requests like this a week in advance.
