[Engineering] Ownership of Selenium tests

[Željko Filipin]

Hi,

TLDR: I need this table populated: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T134492

This is my final reminder. Following repositories do not have owners, and
their daily Selenium Jenkins jobs will be deleted in the next week or two
if nobody volunteers.

mediawiki/core
mediawiki/extensions/CentralAuth
mediawiki/extensions/CentralNotice
mediawiki/extensions/GettingStarted
mediawiki/extensions/PdfHandler

For the current list of repositories and owners please see T134492. If you
would like to become an owner of a repository, or you know who should I
reach out to, please let me know.
