Hi all!
I'd like to mention one additional topic: I have been touching up my proposal
for the introduction of PageIdentity
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T208776>, as a lightweight alternative to
Title and WikiPage. I would like to propose for it to go on last call. It has
been sitting in the "tune" phase for a while, and it seems pretty mature to my
by now.
You can find the proposed code on gerrit, see
Iaed4871e0d32c67d4fb13e487625527f6a21e9c5
<https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/q/Iaed4871e0d32c67d4fb13e487625527f6a21e9c5>.
There is a chain of follow-up patches (some incomplete) that demonstrate how the
new interface is intended to be used, and how it can improve existing code.

This is the weekly TechCom board review. If there are additional topics for
TechCom to review, please let us know by replying to this email. However,

seem to contradict his note from last week's grooming email. Timo, would
you please clarify.
