Well, bluntly put, since LDAP is how most non-WMF staff sign into phabricator, I'd say it's become an essential extension. So yeah, this one should be taken over by WMF staff. Risker/Anne On 18 September 2015 at 12:54, Greg Grossmeier wrote: > > > Hi maybe Wikimedia can

Since this is deployed on wikitech It should be maintained by Wikimedia since it is unmaintained and its better that Wikimedia maintain it because they have more staff that can review and because they have more experience in doing reviews and code review. On Saturday, 19 September 2015,

Deployed on wmf cluster does not necessarilly means wmf has to maintain it. A simple example: [[mw:Extension:Josa]]. It's maintained by 3rd party developer independant from WMF. For example, (IIRC/AFAIK,) WMF has no staffs with Korean knowledge. [[Extension:Josa]]:
