Hi design list,

1) Any visible style change seems to have great difficulty being
accepted. I found this with a few changes I submitted months ago:
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/32035/
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/32036/
With the reviews always coming back "fine, needs approval from
someone else". I think this may be a more general issue making
design changes difficult to do.

Part of the issue is that I'm the primary person with +2 here since I started the mediawiki/skins/* repos. But I don't have the time to checkout and test changes.
Btw, note that " Looks good to me, but someone else must approve" is actually just something Gerrit says when you +1 something. It's not something anyone voluntarily says.
