Tom,
I can help in infra contribution if required, but don't expect a quick
resolution, as the infra team is hell overloaded. This is the process:
- setup the same wiki in local dev env using infra puppet to make sure we
are not breaking anything irreversible in production
- create the patch
- deliver the patch to ci
- nagging infra core reviewers (hardest part)
- we can beg for an account to execute cleanup scripts to remove spam
content automagically
Cheers,
Marton
