A heads-up that plans for a WMF-owned URL shortener are going to be a
topic at this IRC meeting tomorrow, as that's an idea which we have
been discussing in the social media team in the past, too (although
IIRC that was mostly before t.co became the mandatory URL shortener on
Twitter).

Subject: [Wikitech-l] short RfC review meeting Wednesday: five quick decisions
To: Wikimedia developers <wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
This Wednesday, 2100-21:30 UTC, let's have a thirty-minute RfC review
meeting to check on a few proposals to consolidate, and whether a few
authors have done their next steps from the last few months. (If people
want to answer these questions onlist/onwiki that's fine too.)

I have some open questions:
[...]
2. URL shortener<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/URL_shortener>(and
URL
Shortener Service<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/URL_shortener_service_f…>,
probably to be consolidated). Do we have the implementation details Tim
wanted?
[...]
We'll talk in #wikimedia-office on Freenode, at 2100 UTC on March 12:

Hi Charles,
Pretty close! The list you emailed is our old 'private' internal list. We
have a new public mailing list we use for this now (I should try and add an
auto reply actually to the old list). I've copied in the new list but it's
at social-media(a)lists.wikimedia.org you are welcome to join as well!
Personally I'm happy to re share the post, I'll wait for another set of
eyes to agree first though.
