There seems to be sufficient support to grant users who have "editbugs" rights the permission to hand out (and revert) editbugs rights to/of other users. If we did this, users with editbugs rights can go to "Links > Administration > Users", enter the email address of a user, and hand out editbugs to other users. However, the right to hand out editbugs rights to other users cannot be handed out recursively: If I give user X the right to hand out editbugs permissions to other users, then user X can only give editbugs to user Y him/herself, but user Y will NOT automatically be able to hand out editbugs to user Z. For the records: Currently 14744 Wikimedia Bugzilla users have editbugs permissions (so this is something to do via an SQL command instead of me clicking myself to death in Bugzilla's web interface). andre -- Andre Klapper | Wikimedia Bugwrangler http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/ _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
