Hi Alexander, I haven't forgotten about your request... Please don't take this the wrong way, but lately there has been quite a LOT of malicious activity at several Wikimedia systems and your account is brand new.. I can't find any history of your activity with the projects or any other projects in any public form... Especially in light of the recent event-stream compromise for instance ( https://medium.com/intrinsic/compromised-npm-package-event-stream-d47d08605502), I think it is wise of us to be extra careful and take some more time to make sure your enthusiasm is exactly what it is pure enthousiasme to become part of this. But at this time that makes me uncomfortable to give you access to this set of servers as one of them is actually rather critical and could allow a person to do a lot of potential harm to Wikimedians. It is sad that we have to consider these kinds of things nowadays. I'm considering how we should approach this and how I can gain enough confidence to help you along.
