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?

Phabricator users,
this is to let you know that the "aphlict" service has been disabled on
Phabricator (for now) because it caused stability issues.
This means you will not get realtime (pop-up) notifications on Phabricator.
(If you had those enabled in the first place).
Regular notifications (that do not pop-up) and emails are not affected by
this.

As of 950cf6016c, the mediawiki/core repo was updated to use DB_REPLICA
instead of DB_SLAVE, with the old constant left as an alias. This is part
of a string of commits that cleaned up the mixed use of "replica" and
"slave" by sticking to the former. Extensions have not been mass
converted. Please use the new constant in any new code.
The word "replica" is a bit more indicative of a broader range of DB
setups*, is used by a range of large companies**, and is more neutral in
connotations.
Drupal and Django made similar updates (even replacing the word "master"):
* https://www.drupal.org/node/2275877
* https://github.com/django/django/pull/2692/files &
https://github.com/django/django/commit/beec05686ccc3bee8461f9a5a02c607a023…
I don't plan on doing anything to DB_MASTER, since it seems fine by itself,
like "master copy", "master tape" or "master key". This is analogous to a
master RDBMs database. Even multi-master RDBMs systems tend to have a
stronger consistency than classic RDBMs slave servers, and present
themselves as one logical "master" or "authoritative" copy. Even in it's
personified form, a "master" database can readily be thought of as
analogous to "controller", "governer", "ruler", lead "officer", or such.**
* clusters using two-phase commit, galera using certification-based
replication, multi-master circular replication, ect...

Hello Wikitech-l colleagues,
I don't know how much interest there is on Wikitech-l regarding meeting
invitations for the Wikimedia Café, but I'm cross-posting this invitation
for the to the list. If I hear a bunch of complaints then I will stop the
cross-posting of Café invitations when there are not clearly tech-oriented
items on the agenda for the Café. However, I would hope that some
subscribers to Wikitech-l are interested in the Café.
A reminder: you are welcome to add items to the Café's agenda.
Best wishes for the new year,
Pine

Subject: Wikimedia Café online meeting for January 2020. Note the schedule
change.
To: Wikimedia Mailing List <Wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hello colleagues,
The Wikimedia Café meetings have generally been well received. We had
approximately seven people in the December meeting. In an attempt to make
the meetings be accessible to more people, in January 2020 the Café is
tentatively scheduled for a Saturday, and the Café will be earlier in the
day. The meeting will be on 25 January 2020 at the following time: 11:30 AM
EST, 4:30 PM UTC, and 10 PM ITC.
During the most recent Café we had an extensive discussion about
documentation for Wikitext and templates. We ran out of time to discuss
NavWiki <https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/NavWiki>. For the January
meeting the only non-introductory agenda item so far is NavWiki. You are
welcome to add more items to the agenda
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Caf%C3%A9#25_January_2020_at_11:3…>
.
As usual, the meeting style for the Café will emphasize discussion rather
than presentation. People are welcome to participate as listeners only if
they prefer.
Please see the page on Meta
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Caf%C3%A9> for more information
about the Café. Please watch the page for any updates, particularly to the
schedule or the agenda. Signing up for the meeting is optional, but is
helpful to the organizers so that we can estimate how many people will
attend. Signing up for the meeting also informs us who we should notify
individually if there are significant changes, such as changes to the
schedule.
If there are any problems with connecting to the meeting or if you have any
questions or comments then please write on the Meta talk page.
Best wishes for the new year,
Pine
