Can I ask you to just re-run the list, take out the records you already gave Ryan and me, and give me that CSV? I'll de-obfuscate the email addresses and ask Ryan to mass-create them, per my suggestion in https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35209#c0 I want us to try to be very inclusive of all existing developers -- it costs us nearly nothing to mass-create these accounts and helps us gain goodwill and avoid a bunch of manual account creation in the future, so why not do so? Thanks. -- Sumana Harihareswara Volunteer Development Coordinator Wikimedia Foundation

Usernames are the tedious bit; existing USERINFO does not adequately specify what committers will want as their Gerrit/Labsconsole usernames, and those usernames will be very, very hard to change once created. So Antoine, you can skip my suggestion of creating another list of committers whose accounts we should create. I'll spend some time next week working to clean up the already-created accounts (fix email addresses, etc.), to the extent that I can. -- Sumana Harihareswara Volunteer Development Coordinator Wikimedia Foundation

Looking at my spam folder, I have absolutely NO spam emails coming into mediawiki@*, which I have listed in complete plain text in my USERINFO, used in the @author line of some extensions, and iirc I even have some extensions in public use that include it inside a mailto: in the credits that show up on Special:Version. On the other hand, mediawiki-bugs@* accounts for a decent amount of e-mails in my spam folder. So, people obfuscate their USERINFO in ways that any half decent bot programmer could get around but no-one even bothers scanning. While the moment they try to post a bug they expose their e-mail in a place that we know bots do look through. -- ~Daniel Friesen (Dantman, Nadir-Seen-Fire) [http://daniel.friesen.name]

(with each commit message) Probably it's best to just choose an address that you're ok with not being protected and update your USERINFO with that address. (that's the simple way. you could tell someone another way what address to use or let them manually deobfuscate if you wanted to use a different address for commits vs. primary (you can list multiple in gerrit) but it's easier to just set USERINFO to match the commit address and then you (I just looked and saw the option but didn't test) can later change your primary address without admin intervention) -Jeremy

Make it ignore users that already have gerrit accounts with the same name and also ignore USERINFOs that are missing something like "gerritmove: 1". Then find someone to review the script output periodically and run Ryan's script. Then we can tell people (in the account creation FAQ, the extension porting to gerrit instructions, on mailing lists like this one and mediawiki-l, etc.) to update their USERINFO themselves directly in SVN. (with some guidance about what keys will be used for what) -Jeremy

Still I hope to have some of my extensions transferred to git repository, if that's possible with push master access to these. There's been advantage of another developers suggesting improvements in my code. But if that's too much, no problem. I just wonder about the future of svn repository, will the commits to that old repository continue to receive occasional observation / attention of developers? Dmitriy

Therefore, I bring it up here, just in case my email address was somehow mangled. But then, maybe "Alexander K." is not me after all. Alexander
