Hi all, I'd like to suggest to grant developer rights to Purodha B Blissenbach ([[de:Benutzer:Purodha]]). He has contributed some useful patches, but sometimes they just starve because nobody seems to have time to review them. I have met Purodha in person, and I think he's very careful in testing his changes before uploading. One example is his extensive bug report [ 1903113 ] interwiki.py looses access to Wikipedias, see: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1903113&g… He has submitted two patches, 1907586 and 1918278. I think the approach is worth a try, but the patches seem to be already outdated. So, Purodha, would you like to have developer access to the SVN repository? And what do others think about my suggestion?

I have seen some of Purodha's work on the toolserver and find it useful, he seems trustworthy and like a good coder to me.

As you can see in [2], you are already on the developers list. I'm not sure if this is for MediaWiki, for PyWikiBot, or both.

Everyone on the SVN server has access to all repositories, which means any mediawiki developer can edit pywikibot and vica versa. It's SVN, it's versioned and as such revertable, so errors are easily repairable ;) --valhallasw _______________________________________________ Pywikipedia-l mailing list Pywikipedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/pywikipedia-l
