Hi,

I already used this feature before you sent the email and found it very useful. I especially like the link from gerrit.

Thanks,

Last week I saw this in a WMF internal chat: "Now we just need to make
it a weeee easier to edit the Deployments calendar.  (or…is there an
easier way than squinting at wikitext tables and copy/pasting
templates?)"

I'm sure that a number of y'all can relate to this. The
<https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments> page is pretty nice
to read as a human and not too bad for bots. Editing it though can be
a bit painful as that pull quote implies. I decided I would try to do
something about that. The result is a tool at
<https://schedule-deployment.toolforge.org/>.

The new "Wikimedia Deployment Scheduler" tool tries to make adding
your Gerrit change to a backport window as simple as possible. All it
needs from you is the Gerrit change number, your IRC nick, and the
backport window you want to use. Using some python magic, including
the always useful mwparserfromhell library, it finds the right place
in [[wikitech:Deployments]] to insert your request for deployment.

To make things even easier, Gerrit will now show you a "Schedule
backport of this change" link underneath the commit message for
changes that are eligible for a backport deployment. What changes are
those? Any open, unmerged change on the master branch of
operations/mediawiki-config.git or changes on "wmf/*" branches in
mediawiki/core.git, mediawiki/extensions/*.git, or
mediawiki/skins/*.git.

Thanks to Antoine Musso and Tyler Cipriani for their help and
encouragement in building this tool. If you are interested in seeing
what the Gerrit integration needed, check out
