Quick update, we are reviewing the list of candidate tools to invite to test the service.
We are thinking of reducing the number to ~30 tools that already use flask, python and git, and prioritizing those that still have to migrate off the grid (~12).

Here's a quick preliminary list[1].

Anyone knows of users that might be interested too? (even if they don't really match that criteria).
We can add those to the list also.

We will re-check and expand the list after ~2 weeks.

I'll update the task once we have something a bit more defined.

Done :)

Though the idea was to add the noes in the page (did not get to it
yet):

We started (but stopped by mistake) to put it in the wiki, where it
should have been:
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Portal:Toolforge/Ongoing_Efforts/Toolforge_Build_Service/Reports

Note that anything noted there was added after the decisions were made
public.

There was not really a common decision made, just communicated to the
rest of us and shared both in the toolforge build sync, and the
following toolforge workgroup meeting (where you were also).
