This is the addPatchSet permission in Gerrit.
That particular permission was recently abused, and at that time the
permission was modified. The current status will remain for at least
the next week or two while we sort out some other Gerrit problems.
The current status is that "Project Owners" can use addPatchSet for
any projects they own: this does not necessarily map to +2/-2
permissions for a given project, but should mostly align.
For any projects in the "mediawiki" hierarchy, the "mediawiki" group
has the ability to addPatchSet.
After our current problems are resolved, I'd like to talk both with
the folks impacted and with the security team about finding some
middle ground between the current status and anyone being able to
modify any patchset at any time.
Hi. I'm trying to think of a way to put this politely, but I can't, so:
this is insane.
Please reconsider, or I will likely simply need to put off a lot of my
work entirely until it is resolved, which is particularly problematic as
this was the week when I was supposed to properly resume my grant work
in particular. I do not have ownership on many of the repositories that
I need to work on, despite those also being among the ones most likely
to require the sort of back and forth amending that this blocks, so this
is about as bad for me as having gerrit down entirely, as that is pretty
much where having to fall back to emailing patches puts us. (And when
that happened I just threw my arms in the air and went to the beach.)
