I will wait for a second opinion here.

#Repository-Ownership-Approvers sounds good to me.

But I would love to hear from some of the currently 8 folks in that Gerrit group (CCed now on this task) if they are interested and willing to follow a workflow in Phabricator, by watching this project once it has been created in Phabricator, or if they would like to keep the current workflow for any reasons I am not aware of.

Also wondering if there is existing on-wiki documentation that needs updating, apart from replacing https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Project_ownership#Requests ?

Opinions about moving the process from MediaWiki to Phabricator are welcome at the parent task, T86639: Migrate Gerrit project ownership request system (+2 rights) to Phabricator.

Note Gerrit Administrators are allowed to create repositories as well https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/admin/groups/1,members

I never ever honored any request on the wiki page https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Project_ownership#Requests , merely because I hate wikitext based workflow. I have created a few that were requested either personally over IRC or via Bugzilla.

A mistake we did when creating Gerrit was lack of peer reviewed process to create repositories and changes user rights. We end up with a few people having the responsibility and no real way of tracking what is being changed nor wether the resulting configuration is consistent.

I would love to see repo creations and rights to be tracked via peer review / git as configuration changes. Then you only need a couple of folks with the actual rights to +2 (and thus merge).

I agree with Antoine. I, for example, have rights to create repositories and that's really great for me and not so great for the people that I'm supposed to help through a process I'm not familiar with.

Lets follow up the discussion on the parent task T86639: Migrate Gerrit project ownership request system (+2 rights) to Phabricator
