I've just found out that WMF's Bugmeister Andre Klapper removed "nearly everyone"'s Bugzilla adminship (and people with root access on the servers now have access to a file which contains login details for an 'emergency admin' account). So I have some questions:
This wasn't a sudden removal - Andre discussed it with ops and emailed *every* admin first, so it's far less dramatic than you may think. He's also been working on https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Bugzilla_administrator_rights_policy, which I believe has approval from the relevant people (I'm can't think who that is off the top of my head).
* Who was removed?
- Who still has access?
** Is the list on https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/System_administratorsstill
up to date?
The list was slightly out of date, I just fixed it. You can view the historyhttps://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=System_administrators/table&action=history of the transcluded table to see who was removed.
Also please ban the account of the user who created https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50029
Done, thanks.
