Re: [Wikitech-l] New Gerrit privilege policy

I just want to point out that this wasn't "handed down by a CTO", it was a RFC [1] that and was open for discussion to everyone and was discussed extensively (and the RFC changed because of these discussions, look at the history of the page), then had an IRC meeting that was also open to everyone,

Re: [Wikitech-l] New Gerrit privilege policy

So your basically telling me, I can’t decide who gets the power to +2 on for example a toolforge tool I actively am the primary maintainer of? Instead it has to be requested. I do not disagree with a lot of the changes to technical policies, but with this change it seems to restrict ability to s

File a task in Phabricator under the Gerrit-Privilege-Requests project, recommending that the person be given access, giving your reasons and mentioning that you are the maintainer of the project in question.
