With this rollout, we've been watching the Village Pumps on various
projects and trying to work with people who are active on the projects
and, in the process, we've come up with some bugs that we'd like to get
fixed before we deploy to Commons on Tuesday (see
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.19/Roadmap#Deployment_schedule)
In order of priority:
* Bug 34409: 'mw.user.options' and 'mw.user.tokens' are sometimes empty
on 1.19, breaking watchlist, gadgets, etc.
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/34409
Roan tried to fix this one (r111695) but the problem still shows up.

Consistent reproduction is hard (in some user sessions, seemingly
impossible, with others, continually appearing), suggesting a bug
that's triggered under certain timing conditions.
* Bug 34469: (un)watch button broken
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/34469
Robla's summary is thorough, but here is the gist:
The common denominator when this fails is that mw.user.options fails
to load, which is easily confirmed by calling mw.user.options.get()
from the javascript console. This gets back to our old friend, bug
34409, which is a much bigger problem than just watchlists.
* Bug 34450: Probable Javascript loading issues (navigation and tabbing
issues, multiple browsers)

Andrew Garrett has fixed at least part of this issue, but some work
remains.
* Bug 34458: Editing fails in IE7
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/34458
This is has evidently been around a while so we don't *need* to block
any deployments, but it would be nice to fix it
* Bug 34421: mutiple headers in email from UserMailer
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/34421
I plan on fixing this by Monday (since I caused it). Antoine, though,
has done a lot of work tracking it down, though, and beat me to it.
Or you, reading this, could.
Most of the other bugs we found were rapidly dealt with.
Happy Hacking!
