I know it has been annoying a couple of people other than me, so now that I've learned how to make it work I'll share the knowledge here.
tl;dr: Star the repositories. No, seriously. (And yes, you need to star each extension repo separately.)
(Is there a place on mw.org to put this tidbit on?)

Hi Bartosz
In order to link your commits to your GitHub account, you need to have some association with the repository other than authoring the commit. Usually, having push access gives you that connection. In this case, you don't have push permission, so we don't link you to the commit.
The easy solution here is for you to star the repository. If you star it - along with the other repositories that are giving you this problem - we'll see that you're connected to the repository and you'll get contribution credit for those commits.
Cheers
Brian

We just released a new version of Research:FAQ on Meta [1], significantly
expanded and updated, to make our processes at WMF more transparent and to
meet an explicit FDC request to clarify the role and responsibilities of
individual teams involved in research across the organization.
The previous version – written from the perspective of the (now inactive)
Research:Committee, and mostly obsolete since the release of WMF's open
access policy [2] – can still be found here [3].
Comments and bold edits to the new version of the document are welcome. For
any question or concern, you can drop me a line or ping my username on-wiki.
Thanks,
Dario

I'm not familiar with bluejeans and maybe have missed a transition
because I wasn't paying enough attention. is this some kind of
experiment? have all meetings transitioned to this service?
anyway, my immediate question at the moment is how do you join without
sharing your microphone and camera?
am I correct thinking that this is an entirely proprietary stack
that's neither gratis nor libre and has no on-premise (not cloud)
hosting option? are we paying for this?

Hello,
can someone to update list https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/P10500 which
contains repositories which haven't mediawiki/mediawiki-codesniffer.
I found in list that much repositories are empty, and repositories which
aren't available on Gerrit.
So, can someone please update this list of repositories (in
mediawiki/extensions) which haven't mediawiki/mediawiki-codesniffer, but at
least, contains one PHP file. or to provide me command with which I can
update list when I want, so I don't need to request it every time.
Best regards,
Zoran.
P. S.: Happy weekend! :)

Hello everyone,
Here is another change from WMDE’s Technical Wishes team concerning syntax
highlighting:
Soon, line numbers will be shown in wikitext editors when you have the
syntax highlighting feature (CodeMirror
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CodeMirror> extension)
enabled.[1] The change will make it easier to detect line breaks and to
refer to a particular line in discussions. More information can be found on
this project page. [2]
We plan to deploy this with this week’s Mediawiki train, so it should be on
wikis from April 13-15. As a first step, it will be available on the
template namespace only. Deployment on other namespaces is planned for the
near future.
If you have any feedback, please let us know on the project’s talk page.
[3] We hope line numbering will be useful to you!
Johanna

Hello all,
The Wikimedia hackathon
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2021> is coming up in a
few weeks, on May 22-23! We’re very excited to gather online with you all
and hack together.
On top of the informal hacking, we would like to build a light, community
powered program, with sessions and discussions about the technical
environment in the Wikimedia movement. We will have two different “tracks”,
each of them having its own setup:
1.
The main track, a livestream of sessions that will be recorded and
available for replay, hopefully using a fully open source set up. This will
be great for presentations, talks and demos.
2.
The open rooms: two Jitsi rooms will be available to schedule your
sessions. This is perfect for informal discussions, Q&As and workshops.
If you’re interested in running a session in the hackathon’s program, it’s
easy: please create a task on the Phabricator board
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/5303/>, using this template
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/1/?title=[Sessio…>,
that will give you all the required information. The coordination team will
come back to you to help you prepare and schedule your session.
You will also find the different formats that we are offering:
presentation, discussion, workshop or lightning talk. All topics are
welcome, as long as they are connected to the technical environment of the
Wikimedia projects. We are particularly interested in sessions that are
useful for newcomers, and connected to the main topics of this year’s
hackathon: open source tools for events, documentation and finding
co-maintainers.
Because we will need some time to schedule the proposed sessions and to
make technical tests with the speakers, please note that the deadline to
submit a session for the main track is May 9th. For the open rooms, you
will have a bit more time, until May 19th.
You will find more information and details about the call for proposals on
the how-to page
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2021/How_to>. If you
have any questions, feel free to ask on the discussion page
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Hackathon_2021>. If you want
to brainstorm ideas or find a co-speaker for your session, feel free to ask
the crowd on the hackathon social channels
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2021/Discussions>.
Feel free to share the word anywhere you find it useful, and talk about it
with your contacts! Thanks in advance,
For the coordination team,

This is a summary of this week's deployment of the 1.37.0-wmf.3 branch
of MediaWiki and its extensions (also known as "the train"). The
primary person in charge this week was me, Lars Wirzenius, with Jeena
Huneidi as backup, both from the Release Engineering team.
The summary task for this week is
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T278347
This week was a little more rocky than usual. I achieved three
personal records: largest number of rollbacks in a week (two), largest
number of errors in logstash after a deployment (63367), and largest
number of deer seen from my window while conducting the train (eight,
in pairs on three different days).
The new version is running all sites. There were a total of six
blockers reported and resolved:
- T281180 - DiscussionTools: Precondition failed: This Title instance
does not represent a proper page, but merely a link target
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T281180
- T281184 - PHP Fatal Error: Access level to
CentralAuthPrimaryAuthenticationProvider::$userNameUtils must be
protected (as in class
MediaWiki\Auth\AbstractPasswordPrimaryAuthenticationProvider) or
weaker
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T281184
- T281226 - PHP Notice: Only variables should be assigned by reference
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T281226
- T281361 - TypeError: Argument 2 passed to
Wikibase\Client\DataAccess\Scribunto\WikibaseLanguageIndependentLuaBindings::trackUsageForSitelink()
must be an instance of Wikibase\DataModel\Entity\ItemId, instance of
Wikibase\MediaInfo\DataMo
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T281361
- T281405 - Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBQueryError: Error 1054: Unknown column
'img_actor'
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T281405
- T281480 - SqlBlobStore no longer caching blobs (DBConnectionError
Too many connections)
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T281480
The last task is still open, as it was worked around quickly, on
Thursday, to avoid a service outage (read: taking down all sites), but
is waiting for a proper fix later.
As usual, a whole bunch of people helped to find, triage, analyze,
fix, or work around problems this. Release Engineering thanks
everyone, without help we wouldn't be able to deploy MediaWiki.
