Hi all,
I have one minor annoyance in the ConfirmAccount extension - there's no
email notification when people apply for a wiki account.
I see that there is a config option "$wgConfirmAccountContact" which you
can set to an email address/alias, but there is not any way to have an
email sent to all bureaucrats that I can see. It looks like it could be
pretty easy to add that feature, though - any interest?
Alternatively, we could add infra@ as the address where new requests get
sent (I don't imagine we'll get a lot of them). How does that sound as a
plan?
Cheers,
Dave.

Seems reasonable to me. I can't see us getting flooded with legitimate requests, and
if we get flooded with illegitimate requests some time down the track that is something we
would want to address separately anyway ;).

Not everyone on the infra list can
confirm an account. It would be
better to send it to all bureaucrats then to send peoples personal
information to an open list with a public archive.

Fair point. We should check what gets sent in the email. If it's
something along the lines of "there are requests in the queue", that
would be better (although annoying for list members). If it's got an
email address in it, that would be bad.
Cheers,
Dave.
