We've moved the MediaWiki RFC process to Phabricator [1]. It's working better because the assignee and task comment make it clearer what needs to happen next. However, there are number of RFCs on mediawiki.org that do not have a task in Phabricator. This is fine for closed RFCs that have been implemented or declined, but there are dozens of RFCs on mediawiki.org in various states (draft, in discussion, stalled, and accepted but not yet implemented). We need to harmonize them with Phabricator [2], otherwise they will increasingly be invisible. If you're the author of an RFC that appears in Category:Requests for comment with no bug or task <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Requests_for_comment_with_no_bug_or_task> or you have a strong interest in seeing discussion continue, please create a task for it in Phabricator -- there's a link to "Submit a phabricator task" in [1a]. Or if an RFC is declined or implemented, there's no need for a Phabricator task, just update its status. The category page above has more detailed instructions, or ask me (spagewmf on IRC) or an actual Architecture Committee member for guidance. Thanks!
