Hello Everyone,
This is Jay. I have some questions and want to know that it is possible to apply on the ground.
== Problems == * I work on the very trivial tasks. and even after working on the very trivial tasks, sometimes my patch does not merge even after 6 months has passed. Recently I have Abandoned my some patches due to be not merged after 6 months has passed.[1][2] * Recently there are many tasks created on phab to Archive the extensions. Those extensions have not maintained in the last 5 years. * And also We have lack of peoples for reviewing those extension's patches, which have not deployed on Wikimedia or any other big wiki.
== Potential Solution == The potential solution is to create a new group on the Gerrit with +2 rights. This group will manage those extensions which have not maintained by the owner in last 1 year (if not, Maybe 2 years). This will save the extension from being unmaintained. There are many users who have good knowledge and They review patches like Mainframe98,[3] MGChecker, and others.
So my question is why does we not create this type of group? so that users can managed those extensions which have not maintained in last 1 year.
