Hi Jeroen,
Thanks for this! Per our conversation, I'd love for this to be weekly, even if the status is "no change". Even that is useful information, since it may uncover cases where we're waiting for each other thinking that the other party has the next step.

Right now we have three patches to core awaiting review:
Simple patch, which as far as I can tell is ready to go in. Development of core parts of our phase one functionality is blocked by this, and not having this merged is causing hassle for people that want to setup their own working Wikidata repo-client install.
It looks a little more complicated to me, but I agree that the ball is in our court to provide an alternate design idea. Tim and/or Asher, could you weigh in on this?
More complex patch, but has no effect on existing code in core yet, so can be merged in without much risk. It's less urgent then the first patch, although it just sitting there is causing overhead in regard to further developing this code, and is preventing us from starting to work on updating core code to make use of this rewrite.
I think having this in commits us to a direction, which is why we're being more conservative than you'd hope. This is also getting into an area that Chad has plans to address, so we'd like to make sure that this aligns with our future plans.
- The Wikidata core branch with ContentHandler stuff
DanielK needs to chime in here, as I was unable to find anything sitting on gerrit waiting for review. In any case, my understanding is that we still need to get quite a bit merged in, doing this step by step, so obviously we can only get to the next one when the current one got merged.
I'll talk to Tim about this later today. Tim and/or Daniel, what's the best place to keep up with the latest on your conversation on this branch?
Just looking here: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/q/status:merged+project:mediawiki/core+bran...
...I would agree with Jeroen that everything looks reviewed and ready to go.
