we should've at least a broader discussion, and hopefully we can create a
help page or a public policy for if, when and how a volunteer developer
can be a member of the Wikimedia org on github.
Can we re-use the +2 list(s) for this? If someone has +2 access on a
MediaWiki or Wikimedia Gerrit repository and they wish to be part of the
Wikimedia GitHub organization, we can add them? That seems simple and
straightforward enough. It doesn't answer where and how to make the
request. Probably in Phabricator Maniphest somewhere?
I could, however, Open a pull request or an issue for
all projects, but,
apart from the work doing this manually, this sounds like wasted time,
too, as we don't use pull requests on github and use phabricator instead
of github issues for the organization of work, that's why this is not a
solution, too.
If the Wikimedia GitHub organization membership continues to expand, it
might add to confusion about Wikimedia's relationship with GitHub. I know
that we note in repository descriptions on GitHub to use Gerrit, but maybe
we should revisit GitHub pull request integration at some point.
