Eventually, when a proposal is ready and a fuller discussion is needed, I'd need to look into where the appropriate place to go is, because I'm not sure if functions regarding e-mail are handled on a project-by-project basis (and if so, where that is) or if this needs to happen somewhere on Mediawiki.org. I suppose a decent place to start would be the village pump of a specific project to get a conversation started once a proposal is ready. - Jethro Chris "Jethro" Schilling I JethroBT (WMF) <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:I_JethroBT_(WMF)> Community Organizer, Wikimedia Foundation <https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Home> On Thu, Feb 9, 2017 at 4:36 PM, Ryan Kaldari <rkald...@wikimedia.org> wrote: > On Thu, Feb 9, 2017 at 3:44 PM, WereSpielChequers < > werespielchequ...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> ... >> >> The first would be to allow editors to set their email to only receive >> from confirmed or even extended confirmed accounts.
