Per the deprecation policy,[1] this needs to be announced to wikitech-l.
In Gerrit change 383918,[2] it was realized that
ContribsPager::getUserCond() had grown weirdly large and provided a poor
interface for what it was doing, and changes in that patch were going to
exacerbate the situation. Since there are no users of that method in core
or extensions in Gerrit, it was decided that the best course of action
would be to merge it into its one caller rather than piling more tech debt
on top of the existing tech debt there.
