Thanks for your answer. This process does not seem to work well. Here is an example:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14624
Two months already and no response. Also no request for a link. And see the last comment from es-wp, so it seems to be a general problem that can potentially hit every project. My impression is that there are no body who feel responsible for this. If it is so, I think we should set up a responsible person for this. As far as I know it doesn't happen every day and it is surely not a thing that takes a lot of time.
Any opinion or suggestions?
Ting.

Hello,
as far as I know there are settings for WikiMedia-projekts that can
only be done by certain developpers. An example is the change for autoconfirmed days limit. So if the projects want such a setting changed, it must ask a developper to do that.
Do we have such a mechanism? Where should the project request such a
setting and who cares about these requests?
Yes, this is done via Bugzilla (bugzilla.wikimedia.org)
Use https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Wikimedia to enter a new bug and add 'shell' in the box of keywords (towards the bottom)

For most (all?) changes, the dev will ask for a link to an on-wiki discussion which show the changes being asked for has consensus on that project.
