Hello,
As you surely have noticed, the unit tests for mediawiki/core are no more run when a patch is submitted.
I have just enabled a feature that whitelist people to have unit tests run for them on patch submission. The patch still need to be reviewed and approved with a CR+2 though.
Basically any user with a @wikimedia.org or @wikimedia.de email address is whitelisted by default. I have also added a few contractors using their personal emails and several long term users.
The related change is: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/39310/
This is only enabled for mediawiki/core for now, I will look at applying such a whitelist on extensions too in January.
There is no process to be added in the whitelist, I guess you could talk about it on IRC. If there is no obvious veto there, you could probably just amend layout.yaml in integration/zuul-config.git file and get it approved :)
cheers,
