Hello,
Gerrit change [1] will change the return type guarantee of Skin::getRelevantUser method from User object to ?UserIdentity interface. According to codesearch [2] all usages in extensions and skins are entirely satisfied by UserIdentity, so will keep working with no modifications.
If you have questions or concerns, please reply to this email.
Best regards. Petr Pchelko. Staff Software Engineer, Platform Engineering Team, WMF.
