Maybe our rule should be: if an extension is not
deployed on Wikimedia sites, then we should basically allow anyone to
merge new code in (disallowing self-merges), unless the existing
maintainers object.
Having a "can review all extensions" group is easy, but allowing for
exemptions will be a pain to manage the ACLs for. For every extension
that opts out of being reviewed by this group, we'd have to adjust its
ACL to block the inherited permissions.
How about instead of "can review all extensions", we make it easier to
request review rights on non-WMF extensions?
You still have to ask for each extension you want, but if the
maintainer's okay with it (or not around), the burden of proof is less.
No one really needs review rights on *all* the non-deployed extensions,
only the few they work on.
