I request being added as a co-maintainer of AdminStatsBot and HBC AIV helperbot. The tools admin links are https://admin.toolforge.org/tool/adminstats and https://admin.toolforge.org/tool/aivhelperbot
While the Adoption policy states that either:
- The tool has been non-functional for 14 days, per LINK
- Or, The current maintainer(s) have been inactive for 28 days, per LINK(s)
And also that the current maintainer(s) have been notified on all of their:
- wikitech usertalk pages, per LINK(s)
- homewiki usertalk pages, per LINK(s)
I would like for this request to be expedited with the 14 days wait time be waived due to the current maintainer having passed away, having being notified at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bureaucrats'_noticeboard#JamesR.
Both tools are effectively non-functional as both accompanying bots are already blocked locally and globally locked. See: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/HBC_AIV_helperbot5 and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth?target=AdminStatsBot
The aivhelperbot is critical to admin processes on English Wikipedia as they help to clear [[:en:WP:AIV]] and [[:en:WP:UAA]] of old/stale reports.
Please could the TFSC :
- check the tool's home directory for obvious secret information, following the Adoption policy instructions
