1036950 - Administrator permissions for MDN project on Verbatim

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Webtools Graveyard :: Verbatim, defect)

Description

[Florian Scholz (Open Web Docs)]

Hi,

I'd like to request Verbatim admin/commit privileges for the MDN project (all MDN locales) for the following accounts:

fscholz at moco
jleidel at moco
jperrier at moco

That way, we are able to handle bugs like bug 1036927 ourselves. 
Thanks!

For other projects, using dennis to protect the deployed code against broken localizations was successful, https://github.com/willkg/dennis. That sounds like a much more scalable and reliable solution.

Not that I don't appreciate developers making suggestions in verbatim for fixes.

That makes sense, I also don't think suggesting fixes is scalable model (other than potentially even incorrect). So a scripted solution would make sense to me.

Any hints how to integrate dennis into deployments? Do you know which projects use dennis in that way where we can try to steal ideas?

https://github.com/mozilla/zamboni/blob/b142caf0b289a0eac8d9eeab470d6c67812c548e/locale/compile-mo.sh would be one.

Can I have admin privileges on MDN project (shobson at moco) please? I need to be able to update from VCS.

Comment 6

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

The "update from VCS" button is the scariest thing, as it's actually the "throw everything away that's in our database" button.

The initial request for this bug is better fixed by bug 1036979, so I'll resolve this WONTFIX.

Stephanie, not sure if your request is related to this bug, so I won't hand you a nuke either. Feel free to nag mathjazz if you have needs.
