Sumana Harihareswara <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #4 from Sumana Harihareswara <[email protected]> 2012-09-28 12:29:51 UTC --- I did the same kind of diff and then took half an hour to go through and give editbugs to the accounts of about a hundred people whose email addresses I could verify (by looking at my own email archives). For example, I checked to make sure WMDE, WMF, and Wikia personnel had editbugs, and I kept my eyes out for the names and addresses of testers, community members, and developers I recognized. I hope this will help reduce how much of a blocker this is, in the short term, but I know it's just a tiny bit of help. Because it was such a headache to deal with the Bugzilla abuse, I'd like to wait before we give all new users the editbugs right upon account creation. Specifically, I would like to wait until the new fulltime Bug Wrangler starts, which will be in the first half of October. I think we should not give the editbugs right to all non-privileged Bugzilla accounts yet, until someone does a little due diligence to check whether any of them show signs of being vandals (one of the most important being that the account name is falsely that of another community member). I'm open to other ideas regarding what that due diligence should be, and would mildly prefer to discuss that in private email instead of here. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
