Hi,

There are currently three pending patches to change category collation configuration for various Wikimedia wikis:

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/140580 https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/147922 https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/154213

(This generally makes it so that accented letters like 'é' or 'ą' are not sorted at the end of lists, after 'z', and fixed ordering for languages with interesting alphabets; see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgCategoryCollation.)

I have previously been told that these are on hold because of WMF's Trusty migration and the need to rebuild all existing collation data. (No one told me how long that might take, but by my estimates that can't possibly take more than two or three weeks, and I know for a fact that it can be done with no downtime and minimal problems.)

That was about two months ago.

Is anything known about the current status of the collation things, and the Trusty migration in general? Is there any public venue that I could follow to know what is going on, or at least a private one I could be cc'd on if I asked pretty-please? Is there any ETA, even vague, as to when things might get done?

I would like to update the bugs that are stuck with this information.
