I support restoring the rights in this case, but I'm not sure it should be
automatic in all cases. If having +2 rights is relatively harmless and
reversible, then an automatic (but announced) restoration of the rights
should be fine.
The issue is that someone who leaves the foundation could do so under
unfriendly terms, possibly affecting their ability to do good work. I know
we don't want to think that a previously productive volunteer could later
cause problems, but it is possible.
That's why I think there should be some form of check, so we have
confidence that this person still has good intentions. For example, their
manager and/or someone from Talent & Culture could be consulted, or trusted
people who still have close contact with the person so know their state of
mind. It could be quick and lightweight, in almost all cases, but skipping
that step entirely seems risky to me. Unless, as I said, having +2 really
isn't a big deal.

Hi,
After speaking with Yurik, I've filed
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T156219> on his behalf to restore his
membership in the mediawiki and maps-dev groups.
I would appreciate guidance in whether these rights can be summarily
granted since he used to have them, or if it needs to go through the
full process.

I support doing this automatically in any similar situation in the future.
