Per http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2013-February/066723.html it's become clear that Mark is our Release Manager for MediaWiki where it comes to 3rd party support. Please provide Mark with the technical access that will allow him to: 1. Create branches and tags for MediaWiki core so he can create those for new versions, without requiring Wikimedia resources. 2. Merge code changes into MediaWiki core release branches so that he can update the code, without requiring Wikimedia resources.
This is the wrong place to request this, see [0]. He just needs ownership for core (as any core developer can perform these tasks on any repo in mediawiki/*) [0] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Git/Gerrit_project_ownership
Thanks, Chad.
