  Making some notes here that will be easier to find than in #striker 
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/striker/>.
  
  @Dvorapa created https://toolsadmin.wikimedia.org/tools/membership/status/783 
to request Toolforge //membership// for the new Pywikibot-gerritbot 
<https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Pywikibot-gerritbot> Wikimedia 
developer account <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developer_account>. I have 
declined that request, not to block this work, but because it should not be 
necessary. A Toolforge membership is needed to become a tool maintainer and 
create or co-maintain a Toolforge tool. Toolforge members should almost always 
be real humans and single user accounts. We also typically decline Toolforge 
membership requests for a "bot" account that is an alt of a Wikimedia user.
  
  Instead of being a Toolforge member and tool maintainer, the Gerrit ssh key 
credentials connected to the Pywikibot-gerritbot 
<https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Pywikibot-gerritbot> shared use 
account should be used from //inside// a tool that is co-maintained by @Dvorapa 
and other PWB maintainers. This is what is done for a tool like wikibugs 
<https://tools.wmflabs.org/admin/tool/wikibugs> which is maintained by multiple 
Toolforge members, but uses the Gerrit ssh credentials of the SuchABot 
<https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:SuchABot> Wikimedia developer account 
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developer_account> to communicate with Gerrit.
