To add some context to my previous mail:
The Infrastructure Foundations team in Wikimedia Site Reliability Engineering is working on a new identity management system, named Bitu. It is intended to be a centralized point for managing logins, password, access rights and SSH keys for Wikimedia Developer accounts. This is unrelated to on-wiki user accounts and permissions. The new service is available at https://idm.wikimedia.org. You can find the Bitu code at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/admin/repos/operations/software/bitu In the initial release we focus on moving the developer account signup to Bitu. It’s important to us that this migration is communicated clearly and in a way that’s understandable and acceptable to our community, which is one of the reasons for a slow rollout of features. If you are helping people with creating a new account, please ask them to use https://idm.wikimedia.org. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to sre-foundati...@wikimedia.org. If you have any enhancement proposals or bug reports please file them in Phabricator with the “Bitu” component.
