For future reference, adding basic context (e.g.: "Scribunto" here) is very welcome if you would also like to reach people who normally do not click links named "50 things that will make you say Oh!" or "You cannot imagine what will happen at the end of this video". :) Thanks, andre (obviously surprise-averse) -- Andre Klapper | Wikimedia Bugwrangler http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/

Sorry for breaking the thread with a serious post. ;) While Andre or me possible cannot help reviewing the code of a 2 year old patch, we are trying to help avoiding to run into such situations in the first place. Check our plan to organize a Gerrit Cleanup Day [1] as a possible beginning of a deeper change [2], and join the structured-ish discussion on what should the Wikimedia Foundation do differently to address this problem.[3] [1] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T88531 [2] See the proposed goals in the Engineering Community roadmap https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T101099 (still in its infancy) [3] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T101686
