I know it has been annoying a couple of people other than me, so now that I've learned how to make it work I'll share the knowledge here.
tl;dr: Star the repositories. No, seriously. (And yes, you need to star each extension repo separately.)
(Is there a place on mw.org to put this tidbit on?)

Hi Bartosz
In order to link your commits to your GitHub account, you need to have some association with the repository other than authoring the commit. Usually, having push access gives you that connection. In this case, you don't have push permission, so we don't link you to the commit.
The easy solution here is for you to star the repository. If you star it - along with the other repositories that are giving you this problem - we'll see that you're connected to the repository and you'll get contribution credit for those commits.
Cheers
Brian

We just released a new version of Research:FAQ on Meta [1], significantly
expanded and updated, to make our processes at WMF more transparent and to
meet an explicit FDC request to clarify the role and responsibilities of
individual teams involved in research across the organization.
The previous version – written from the perspective of the (now inactive)
Research:Committee, and mostly obsolete since the release of WMF's open
access policy [2] – can still be found here [3].
Comments and bold edits to the new version of the document are welcome. For
any question or concern, you can drop me a line or ping my username on-wiki.
Thanks,
Dario

I'm not familiar with bluejeans and maybe have missed a transition
because I wasn't paying enough attention. is this some kind of
experiment? have all meetings transitioned to this service?
anyway, my immediate question at the moment is how do you join without
sharing your microphone and camera?
am I correct thinking that this is an entirely proprietary stack
that's neither gratis nor libre and has no on-premise (not cloud)
hosting option? are we paying for this?

Hi,
YuviPanda, prtksxna, and myself (with help from Tim and Aaron) have been
working the UrlShortener extension, which is designed to implement the
URL shortener RfC[1] (specifically Tim's implementation suggestion).
I've filed T108557[2] to deploy the extension to Wikimedia wikis. We'd
like to use the "w.wiki" short domain, which the WMF is already in
control of.
A test wiki has been set up mimicking what Wikimedia's configuration
would be like: http://urlshortener.wmflabs.org/, and has an accompanying
"short" domain at us.wmflabs.org (e.g. http://us.wmflabs.org/3). Please
play with it and report any bugs you might find :)

Hi,
I only now noticed that Phabricator has blogs:
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/phame/blog/
I couldn't find a way to subscribe to them in RSS. Is it possible?

We are going to finally switch off the deprecated domain rest.wikimedia.org
by September 1st. This should not affect any REST API users, as this domain
has been officially deprecated since January & sunset since April [1].
Since then, requests to that domain have returned an error informing users
about the move.
Access to the REST API is exclusively through the main project domains,
following the following pattern:

Thank you for your cooperation,

In order to improve browser testing tools, release engineering team has
created browser testing user satisfaction survey:
https://goo.gl/xS6mmV
It should take you up to 5 minutes. Most of the questions have simple 5
level linear scale. There are 5 sections, and the last question in each
section will be free form text field, so you can leave comments on anything
we forgot to ask.
For details about the survey, feel free to take a look at phabricator task:
