Thanks Tim,
1. Does “saw the site” mean users actually had full or partial access to
the accounts of other users, or simply were viewing a cached version of the
site that appeared as if they were logged in as someone else?
Users reportedly had full access to the accounts of other users.
How many users were impacted?
We had three reports. We've added logging which should help to
determine whether anyone else was affected. So far, the indications
are that it is an extremely rare event.
2. Does the WMF hold incident review meetings and
publish reports about
what steps are taken to prevent repeat incidents with the same root cause?
Incidents are documented at

Action items are tagged with the Incident Prevention tag in Phabricator:

Whether there is an incident review meeting depends on the nature of
the incident.
