This is very nice, thanks so much for your continued work and improvements to this (and for fixing the sharp edges)!

Back in June I announced https://schedule-deployment.toolforge.org/ as
a new tool to help simplify editing the
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments page.[0] Today I am
back to let y'all know that thanks to a feature request by Gergő [1]
you can now use the tool by first browsing [[wikitech:Deployments]] to
find the backport window you would like to use.

When you have found the window that will work best for you, you can
click the green circled plus icon in the upper right corner of the
window's "changes" section. That link will take you to a view on the
scheduler tool showing the same deployment window's current patches
and a form to add your Gerrit change set. Submitting this form puts
you in the same workflow that you would get from the link on a
backport eligible Gerrit change, but with the addition of having the
window pre-selected in the scheduling form.

A related workflow change is that once you have scheduled a change set
for deployment using the tool you will now be redirected to that
window's view rather than the tool's landing page.

There were a few hiccups with the schedule-deployment tool earlier
today. These ended up being less than awesome handling of unexpected
data in the Deployments page. Hopefully my fixes will keep things
running smoothly for the foreseeable future. My thanks go out to Kosta
for reporting these issues and continuing to use the tool even though
he is so good at finding the sharp edges.
