This is the addPatchSet permission in Gerrit.
That particular permission was recently abused, and at that time the permission was modified. The current status will remain for at least the next week or two while we sort out some other Gerrit problems.
The current status is that "Project Owners" can use addPatchSet for any projects they own: this does not necessarily map to +2/-2 permissions for a given project, but should mostly align.
For any projects in the "mediawiki" hierarchy, the "mediawiki" group has the ability to addPatchSet.
After our current problems are resolved, I'd like to talk both with the folks impacted and with the security team about finding some middle ground between the current status and anyone being able to modify any patchset at any time.
Hi. I'm trying to think of a way to put this politely, but I can't, so: this is insane.
Please reconsider, or I will likely simply need to put off a lot of my work entirely until it is resolved, which is particularly problematic as this was the week when I was supposed to properly resume my grant work in particular. I do not have ownership on many of the repositories that I need to work on, despite those also being among the ones most likely to require the sort of back and forth amending that this blocks, so this is about as bad for me as having gerrit down entirely, as that is pretty much where having to fall back to emailing patches puts us. (And when that happened I just threw my arms in the air and went to the beach.)
