I've updated https://labsconsole.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Access#Access_FAQ with the new list of names, but everything else in my summary is still accurate. > * Instead of relying on pinging individuals, it would be nice if there > were a queue/requests page, but there is none right now.

I've decided that we shall just create Gerrit accounts for all the SVN committers who already have email addresses listed in their Subversion USERINFO. Ryan can script that for me and will do that next week. Then we'll mention that on wikitech-l and via other communications channels, and they can go to https://labsconsole.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:PasswordReset to get a password and login. Even if it's only half of the committers, that's still 200 accounts we don't have to create. > * Chad and Ryan are interested in improving the signup process so that > anyone can register for an account without having to ask a gatekeeper, > but there's no timeline for this.

Also: There's no autolinking from Gerrit to Bugzilla yet, but we'll work on it (bug 35144). For now, when referring to a Git diff, please paste changeset "Change ID"s, or the changeset number in the Gerrit changeset URL, into the BZ comment. Both are globally unique. -- Sumana Harihareswara Volunteer Development Coordinator Wikimedia Foundation _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
