[Wikitech-l] Expanding +2 access

2012-10-22 Thread Erik Moeller
Hi folks, To help accelerate code review, we (WMF) have recently made efforts to expand the +2 merge right on Git/Gerrit, consistent with the idea that +2 is an expression of trust and confidence in someone's judgment rather than an indicator of universal technical competence. For example, you

Rather than expanding +2 I'm a little more concerned about allowing more people to create repositories. Currently it can take a half week waiting for a new repo just so you can contribute a new extension, and there's typically no notification. We need to make getting multiple new extensions

My understanding is that creating new repositories becomes WAY easier with Gerrit 2.5, which is one of many reasons the upgrade to 2.5 is one of Chad's priorities. (Also GitBlit support, automatic GitHub repo creation, etc.) We know creating new repos is pretty sub-optimal right now and are

Sorry about that. Two weeks is indeed *not* the norm. Most repositories (from what I can tell) are created pretty quickly. However, if we're encouraging extension developers to stick to Gerrit, the occasional edge case might put a bad taste in somebody's mouth (as for me, I'm a patient man ;) ).
