In the short term, I propose to do the following:
- Fix the login system
- Implement three levels of access control using authz:
- Extensions only (hundreds of users)
- Core (~50 users)
- Sensitive branches (~5 users)
Proposed authz file at:
http://svn.wikimedia.org/authz
The @core group there is just all 76 people who have committed to /trunk/phase3 in the last 12 months. It may need some refinement.
For the file format, see:
