So that is where the expertise is concentrated.
You're one of the most senior developers and you're a Wikimedia employee, yet some of your writing comes off as though you're on the outside. Yes, Wikimedia needs to devote more manpower to code review. This has been pretty apparent for quite some time. The central question at this point seems to be: what's the hold-up? Long ago I lost track of who's in charge of what, but I'm told there is some sort of hierarchy in place in the tech department. Who's empowered to start assigning people to review code in a reasonable timeframe? Like Aryeh, I find this entire thread a bit baffling.
