Hello, In Gerrit, the Mediawiki extensions all inherit rights from the 'mediawiki' group which has a lot of people: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/admin/groups/4cdcb3a1ef2e19d73bc9a97f1d0f109d2e0209cd,members When we debated Gerrit user rights, the agreement was to have all those people to act as maintainers of all extensions. With the implicit agreement to not mess around. I think one of the benefit is you get functions updated magically, get the latest linters/tests, translations etc. So it is kind of a maintenance service offered to any extension hosted on Gerrit. For Wikimedia deployed extensions, SRE and Release Engineer require those rights. Surely for extensions that are actively maintained, the maintainers will want to review all those changes. At least to be aware of them. Though when we do mass changes (update function calls, bump linters version...), it is convenient to refer to the mediawiki group members instead of hunting for the proper maintainer. For the Lingo extension, it is owned by an empty group 'extension-Lingo': https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/admin/groups/d47037083d4a819970a5dda6a95bd503c7897cfd It still inherits rights mediawiki/extensions.git and thus inherits the 'mediawiki' group ownership. -- Antoine Musso _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
