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! :)
Hi everyone,
I want to notify you that I have, on behalf of the WikiTeq company, made a
task https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T298277 for requesting repository
ownership for the Lingo extension.
In case that you have any kind of questions, please let me know. :)
Best regards,
Zoran
Hey all,
This is a quick note to highlight that in six weeks' time, the REL1_39
branch will be created for MediaWiki core and each of the extensions and
skins in Wikimedia git, with some (the 'tarball') included as sub-modules
of MediaWiki itself[0]. This is the first step in the release process for
MediaWiki 1.39, which should be out in November 2022, approximately
six months after MediaWiki 1.38.
The branches will reflect the code as of the last 'alpha' branch for the
release, 1.39.0-wmf.28, which will be deployed to Wikimedia wikis in the
week beginning 12 September 2022 for MediaWiki itself and those extensions
and skins available there.
After that point, patches that land in the main development branch of
MediaWiki and its bundled extensions and skins will be slated for the
MediaWiki 1.40 release unless specifically backported[1].
If you are working on a new feature that you wish to land for the release,
you now have a few days to finish your work and land it in the development
branch; feature changes should not be backported except in an urgent case.
If your work might not be complete in time, and yet should block release
for everyone else, please file a task against the `mw-1.39-release` project
on Phabricator.[2]
If you have tickets that are already tagged for `mw-1.39-release`, please
finish them, untag them, or reach out to get them resolved in the next few
weeks.
We hope to issue the first release candidate, 1.39.0-rc.0, two weeks after
the branch point, and if all goes well, to release MediaWiki 1.39.0 a few
weeks after that.

Hello,
We have a proposal to make small adjustments to the MediaWiki database
policy which would make abstract schema an explicit requirement.
Abstract schema was approved by TechCom in
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T191231 and now core and all WMF-deployed
extensions have migrated to abstract schema.
You can find the proposal in here. Please take a look and comment:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:MediaWiki_database_policy
If there are no major objections by the end of August 2022, I will codify
this into the policy.
Best

Hi,
Tomorrow at the HOPE 2022 conference, I'm giving a talk titled, "How to
Run a Top-10 Website, Publicly and Transparently", discussing the impact
of transparency in Wikimedia's technical spaces. A number of people have
expressed interest in watching, including non-technical users, so I'm
advertising it a bit more broadly.
I apologize for the short notice, I didn't realize the stream would be
free to watch until yesterday (thanks Ori!).
Time: 2022-07-23 17:00 UTC (1pm ET) -
https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1658595637
Stream: https://hope.net/416dac.html
If you can't watch it live, a recording will be uploaded later on.
I've documented all of this on-wiki, including the full abstract:
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Legoktm/HOPE_2022>.
I am of course happy to answer any questions people might have after the
talk!
Thanks,
