Should we modify the "become" script so it logs whenever someone uses it, so we know which tools are actively being logged into by their developers? There are so many other "passive" ways of determining which account/tool is actively maintained than asking the user to confirm it.<br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Feb 3, 2017 at 10:59 AM, Brad Jorsch (Anomie) <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:bjorsch@wikimedia.org" target="_blank">bjorsch@wikimedia.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><span class="">On Fri, Feb 3, 2017 at 10:49 AM, Maximilian Doerr <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:maximilian.doerr@gmail.com" target="_blank">maximilian.doerr@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br></span><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote"><span class=""><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word">Hey guys, I thought I would throw a quick suggestion in to the mix.
