That's how it went until two days ago, when Antoine
Musso submitted a
patch for my Site Settings extension (I don't know why that one
specifically), re-adding the file. I rejected the patch, on the same
grounds as before, but another developer, Chad Horohoe, overrode me and
merged it in. That led to a discussion featuring Antoine, Chad, a few
other WMF developers, and me, which you can find here:
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/437555/
Some of the (unbelievable) highlights:
- From Antoine: "Well then can we just archive this repository please?"
- From Chad: "Yeah no that's not how it works. If it's being hosted on
gerrit.wikimedia.org, it needs a CoC file. If you object to that, you can
find hosting elsewhere."
It was really inappropriate for Chad to hastily and forcefully merge this
change.
