Hi there!
I am Lukas Benedix, a student of computer science at the Freie Universität
Berlin in Germany. In cooperation with the Wikidata developer team, I’m
currently working on my bachelor thesis about usability testing in open
source software projects and I’d like to provide the Wikidata community my
developed feedback mechanisms (only as a test). Wikidata is a very active,
emerging project which is why I think it’s a great platform for my
project.
And now here's the problem: The deadline of my bachelor thesis is
approaching soon. The test is designed to run for two weeks and I
unfortunately underestimated how much time it needs to get a review for my
extension before deployment.
Is it possible to accelerate that review process somehow? The extension is
in gerrit (
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/50004)
Do you have any advice what I can do?
For further information about my project: Here's a little description I
wrote for the Wikidata community:

Best regards,
Lukas Benedix
Lukas, can you give more specifics regarding your deadline? A variety
of people would have to help you get through all the steps of
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Writing_an_extension_for_deployment and
so it might not be feasible to get all these things done in time. :( In
that case you should possibly consider setting up a Wikidata variant in
