Yes, that's correct. Daniel raised in TechCom the fact that the Gerrit privilege policy needed a review. I volunteered to lead the project. We didn't think it was strictly within the purview of TechCom to make a binding decision on this, which is why we structured it as a TechCom-facilitated discussion leading to a recommendation presented for CTO approval. -- Tim Starling _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
