could wmf please extend the mediawiki software in
the following way:
1. it should knows "groups"
2. allow users to store an arbitrary number of groups with their profile
3. allow to select one of the "group"s joined to an edit when saving
4. 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.
