So the right to give a +2 code review is restricted to people in particular Gerrit groups. Typically, there is a Gerrit group named after each repository which grants privileges on that repository. Also, some Gerrit groups grant privileges on multiple repositories. Most notably, the <code>mediawiki</code> group grants privileges on the MediaWiki core and all extensions and skins, as well as some other MediaWiki-related repositories. </p><p>Gerrit groups can derive their members from LDAP groups. Most <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation" class="extiw" title="meta:Wikimedia Foundation">WMF</a> employees are in the <code>wmf</code> group in LDAP, which automatically grants them membership of the <code>mediawiki</code> group. </p><p>Gerrit administrators are able to add and remove members from Gerrit groups. </p><p>Merging a change to the MediaWiki core or an extension deployed by Wikimedia is a big deal. The change will be <i>automatically</i> deployed to the <a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Beta_Cluster" title="Special:MyLanguage/Beta Cluster">Beta Cluster</a><span style="display:none"><a href="/wiki/Beta_Cluster" title="Beta Cluster"> </a></span>, a virtualised staging environment, as soon as it's been merged in <a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Gerrit" title="Special:MyLanguage/Gerrit">Gerrit</a><span style="display:none"><a href="/wiki/Gerrit" title="Gerrit"> </a></span>. It will also be <i>automatically</i> picked up in the next MediaWiki core deployment window (see <a href="https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments" class="extiw" title="wikitech:Deployments">Deployments</a>) unless it is reverted before the release branch is cut. </p><p>Your merge could cause Wikipedia or other sites to fail. It could create a security vulnerability that allows attackers to delete or corrupt data, or to gain access to private information. And in the more common case, it could cause <a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/technical_debt" title="Special:MyLanguage/technical debt">Technical debt</a><span style="display:none"><a href="/wiki/Technical_debt" title="Technical debt"> </a></span> to increase if the code doesn't have tests, is poorly implemented or poorly socialised. You should carefully read this document and all relevant policies before using +2. </p><p>+2 is a strong expression of trust, and trust is maintained through good judgement and careful action. </p><p>In code review, design discussions, and bug comments, those with +2 power have a special responsibility to see from others' points of view. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Merging_without_review" data-mw-thread-id="h-Merging_without_review-Rights_and_responsibilities"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Merging_without_review-Rights_and_responsibilities"></span>Merging without review<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Merging_without_review-Rights_and_responsibilities"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Gerrit/Privilege_policy&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Merging without review"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Merging code without review is bad for code quality and bad for morale. The point of +2 rights is to <i>separate development and code review</i>. The purpose of merging a change in Gerrit is to tell the world that "Yes, I've ensured that this change follows MediaWiki conventions, good engineering practices and is sensible." (Cf. <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2006/01/code-reviews-just-do-it.html">"Code Reviews: Just Do It" by Jeff Atwood</a>.) Inline comments can be used to indicate issues with the code that should be addressed before it is merged. </p><p>Merging your own code without approval from a reviewer may be grounds for revocation of privileges. </p><p>This is not necessarily the same as giving +2 to a Gerrit change owned by yourself. For example: </p> <ul><li>If a change receives +2 from a reviewer, but the Jenkins build fails, the owner might need to give it +2 to restart the build job.</li> <li>Reverts can generally be self-merged, as long as the commit it is reverting was recent. You are reverting to a version which was presumably reviewed at the time.</li> <li>In deployment branches and the Puppet repository, changes are merged by the person doing the deployment, who is often also the author. In these cases, code review is typically indicated by giving +1 to the change.</li> <li>A commit in Gerrit may have two authors: an owner, and a reviewer who uploads an amendment. Typically, the owner and reviewer each review the other's work. As long as all the changes have been reviewed and approved, the commit may be merged.</li></ul> <p>Very few changes are trivial enough to self-merge. Self-merging is tolerated in some cases like trivial documentation changes or projects with only one maintainer. </p><p>For extensions (and other projects) not deployed to the Wikimedia cluster, the code review policy is up to the maintainer or author of the extension. Some non-Wikimedia extensions follow Wikimedia's policy of prohibiting self-merges, but there is no requirement of that. If you are the only person writing the extension and have nobody to review your change, or if the extension is abandoned, it is acceptable to self-merge your changes. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Intra-team_review_and_shared_ownership" data-mw-thread-id="h-Intra-team_review_and_shared_ownership-Rights_and_responsibilities"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Intra-team_review_and_shared_ownership-Rights_and_responsibilities"></span>Intra-team review and shared ownership<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Intra-team_review_and_shared_ownership-Rights_and_responsibilities"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Gerrit/Privilege_policy&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Intra-team review and shared ownership"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>If you're working as part of a team, review by members of your team is not only permitted, but strongly encouraged.
