The WMF grants special rights to employees on a case-by-case basis, by-passing the normal community driven process to grant admin, developer and other rights. A few years ago the WMF officially committed to making this process transparent, and maintains a public Google Spreadsheet [1] so that anyone can check exactly when rights are granted, why they are given and when they are withdrawn. Previously these were mirrored on-wiki but this process broke due to Google changing its proprietary spreadsheet code.
Checking the latest version of the Google spreadsheet, the use cases have been hidden, so non-employees no longer can read the reasons why special rights have been granted. Can a WMF representative please explain why, or restore the use cases to public view?
