Okay, let's. I proposed reverting the settings change. You don't like that
idea. Your turn. :-)
We keep the status quo. Your turn :-P
I like the idea of giving everyone who has editbugs the right to give
other people the editbugs permission. That's certainly worth a try
assuming it's possible to configure.
BTW, here's the original thread from when it got bad:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.science.linguistics.wikipedia.technical/56816
A couple of relevant Bugzilla bugs come up in that thread:
Bug 363346: "show activity should have an option to migrate or revert
a set of changes"
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=363346
Bug 704753: "Throttle new bug creation, comments, and modifications
for some accounts"
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=704753
If we had these two, we'd be golden for opening it all of the way back
up. Even if we just had 704753, that could limit the scope of a
cleanup effort quite a bit.
