Thanks,

We have a lot of these coming in as of late (which is awesome!), so we're not doing a great job keeping up. Anyone want to help out with this process? We can give this specific right out to anyone willing to help.

Do we actually review the individual requests to look for anything in particular, or just grant access for all who request it?
What exactly is Labs Shell Access? Come to think of it, I really don't have much of an idea of what Labs is in the first place. I assumed it was some sort of testing environment, but I've never actually been on it.

Labs is a virtualized environment that's meant for test, development and semi-production uses such as bots or tools. Shell access gives you the ability to ssh into instances (specifically the bastion). Without shell, it's impossible to ssh into any instances.

I implemented new function to our bot, now it notifies the #wikimedia-labs channel everytime there are people who are waiting, so hopefully it won't happen in future ;)
you can always type @requests in #wikimedia-labs to get a list of users waiting for a shell access

The default is to just give access. This is a mechanism to be able to remove shell from trolls and to avoid trolls just creating new accounts to bypass a block. If we have an issue with a troll, we'll let the shell admins know and we'll take action.
