Is there anything specific in the communications involved that you found was problematic, other than a failure to include a backlink in the initial revert?
I think this entire thing was a big failure in basic software development and systems administration. If MobileFrontend is so tightly coupled with the desktop login form, that is a problem with MobileFrontend. In addition, the fact that a practically random code change was launched into production an hour later without so much as a test... That's the kind of thing that gets people fired at other companies.
But apparently I'm the only person that thinks this, so the WMF can feel free to do what it wants.
