[Wikitech-l] Feedback requested: dropping PHP 7.2 support for MediaWiki 1.35
Hi all, https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T257879 recommends dropping support for PHP 7.2 in the upcoming MediaWiki 1.35 release. (It would still be supported in master as it will probably take months for Wikimedia production to switch.) Tl;dr: 1.35 is an LTS release which we'll support for 3 years, and supporting an old PHP version in an LTS release tends to be inconvenient in a number of ways. More details in the task. Your feedback in the task would be appreciated, especially if you would be affected by the change in a positive or negative way. ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
[Wikitech-l] [FYI] Identifying candidates for Gerrit CR+2 permissions
I've been wondering for a while [1] about a way to get a list of quite active reviewers in Wikimedia Gerrit who have not +2'ed any proposed changes in Gerrit, implying that these developers don't have +2 permissions [2] and could be candidates to receive +2 permissions. Last weekend I created a dashboard at https://wikimedia.biterg.io/app/kibana#/dashboard/ffd01840-cdf9-11ea-8358-4d35848e335d It's not very performant but it works. On the left you can filter on a specific reviewer (hover over the name and select the "+" magnifier icon). After enough patience you can see on the right the code repositories in which they have been reviewing proposed patches in the timeframe defined in the upper right corner. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Community_metrics#List_of_the_most_active_reviewers_without_CR+2_actions is the corresponding documentation. Please use the discussion page if you have any comments or questions.

[Wikitech-l] [Tooling] All code is built
Greetings! I've written a brief blog that describes how Wikimedia uses optional build steps as an enhancement to ResourceLoader and our evolving pipeline. If you use ResourceLoader in your projects, you may find it helpful: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/phame/post/view/206/all_code_is_built/ Thank you to the following reviewers for their great feedback: Jan Drewniak, Santhosh Thottingal, Daniel Cipoletti, Joe Walsh, Bernd Sitzmann, and Mónica Pinedo Bajo.
