Thanks Alex, that's very nice! I have some follow-up questions: 1. What's the best way to match users between wiki and gerrit? I suspect the answer is username, since on gerrit one can register multple emails and I can't find a full/real name on wiki, but what about if a user is moved? Also, does the shell username has anything to do with gerrit? 2. When requesting a new OAuth consumer, what should I choose as the Type of grants being requested? - Authentication only, no API access. - Authentication only with access to real name and email address via Special:OAuth/identify, no API access. - Request authorization for specific permissions.
