could wmf please extend the mediawiki software in the following way:
- it should knows "groups"
- allow users to store an arbitrary number of groups with their profile
- allow to select one of the "group"s joined to an edit when saving
- add a checkbox "COI" to an edit, meaning "potential conflict of
interest" 5. display and filter edits marked with COI in a different color in
history
views 6. display and filter edits done for a group in a different color in history views 7. allow members of a group to receive notifications done on the group page, or when a group is mentioned in an edit/comment/talk page.

the request is about _exactly this_, for wikipedia edits. you mark your
contribution _when you write it_. you can do this by not changing your user account, using your gmail address as sender. this use case is quite common, and it is optional.
