Anyone, volunteer or staff, with +2 access on MediaWiki core, WMF-deployed extensions, or other repositories that affect the WMF sites is expected to take part in ensuring that that code doesn't negatively affect the WMF sites. This is a requirement of having +2 access to those repositories, and is stated on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/%2B2 If someone does not want this responsibility, then they shouldn't have +2. We'll still welcome their contributions, just like the wiki communities welcome contributions from people who aren't admins or 'crats. It would certainly be doable for only WMF staff to be allowed +2 to these repositories as you're saying should be the case, although it would slow down development in some areas. But why *shouldn't* we accept help in this from skilled volunteers as we do in so many other areas? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
