Description

Path to group: repos/wmf-packages

Rationale: This will be used as a shared package repository for packages we release at wmf. Iniitially this will be for packages published from gerrit CI, but will soon include gitlab published packages as well.

Note that this is asking for a project, and not a group as is typical at repos/<name>. We think this is appropriate for this use case as it is serving a cross-team and cross-functionality purpose, and on a technical level gitlab requires to publish to a project.

Who should have access:

This should work as an initial list, and we can add people as appropriate:

I couldn't think of anything this would break. This is (currently) the only top-level project in repos, and creating it required some hoop-jumping:

Enable project creation for Maintainers in /repos
- https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/admin/groups/repos/edit
Invite myself to /repos as a Maintainer
- https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/groups/repos/-/group_members
Re-disable project creation in /repos, just in case this does turn out to have some knock-on effect that will require later cleanup
