[Mediawiki-l] Extensions in SVN looking for a maintainer

[Siebrand Mazeland]

Dear all,

I have done a scan of our current bugzilla settings, and there are 45 or so named extensions that are currently present in the MediaWiki Subversion extensions/ folder without a maintainer. Instead, the default maintainer is used for new issues (wikibugs-l at lists.wikimedia.org). This decreases the changes that the reported issues will ever get any attention.

I would like to call upon you to adopt an extension.

If you want to adapt an extension and current have:
(a) commit access: please e-mail me your Bugzilla e-mail address, and I will add you as a maintainer and assign existing open issues to you trusting that you will address them properly.
(b) no commit access: please e-mail "commit-access-requests at wikimedia.org"[1] to request it. Once approved, do as in (a) above.

Would also appreciate information about any extension in this list that may be obsolete on MediaWiki trunk; this will allow us to tag it in trunk and remove it after branching the next MediaWiki version.

Cheers!

Siebrand
