Can someone summarize this thread? As far as I can tell someone has invented a requirement that all features be blessed by the WMF Features team, and I'm pretty sure that can't be right. Can it?
The way I understand it, yes.
The deployment was not widely consulted (this is a pretty small extension, all in all) – there was the bug and a mail to the design list when Greg asked for design review – and as far as I know basically handled by a person or two from Operations. Terry believes that somebody else has to vet the deployment, saying that all extensions are basically Features' responsibility.
Please note that I was not really in the loop (I helped review the extension a little) and I've read this entire thread on a bus (so I might be misrepresenting something).
