So, I was wondering, if, and if yes how, I, as a
community contributor,
could be a member of the Wikimedia organization on github. I searched on
mediawiki.org and wikitech, but couldn't find a policy or information page
about it, and that's what this thread should be all about :P
I asked hashar and he looked at the people, who are already part of the
org,
and found some volunteers, so he invited me, too. However, I think 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.
It seems like being a member does not give you any rights that could be
problematic [1][2] as long as repo creation is not allowed to members, so
we should probably just set up a bot to automatically add (or offer to
automatically add) every commit author who can be identified.
