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.
