All non-WMF deployed extensions which have not maintained by the owner in
the last 1 year.

To clarify, would the proposed new group be for all
extensions, or just
non-WMF deployed extensions (and i suppose allow others to opt out as well
if they so desire)?

Hello Everyone,
This is Jay. I have some questions and want to know that it is possible
to
apply on the ground.
== Problems ==
* I work on the very trivial tasks. and even after working on the very
trivial tasks, sometimes my patch does not merge even after 6 months has
passed. Recently I have Abandoned my some patches due to be not merged
after 6 months has passed.[1][2]
* Recently there are many tasks created on phab to Archive the
extensions. Those
extensions have not maintained in the last 5 years.
* And also We have lack of peoples for reviewing those extension's
patches,
which have not deployed on Wikimedia or any other
big wiki.
== Potential Solution ==
The potential solution is to create a new group on the Gerrit with +2
rights. This group will manage those extensions which have not maintained
by the owner in last 1 year (if not, Maybe 2 years). This will save the
extension from being unmaintained. There are many users who have good
knowledge and They review patches like Mainframe98,[3] MGChecker, and
others.
So my question is why does we not create this type of group? so that
users
can managed those extensions which have not
maintained in last 1 year.
