 * The great re-branching
 * We re-branched 1.18 last week. This means that instead of backporting the changes made since the old branch, what we have to do now is concentrate on taking out a few bits of code.  We also have a fair amount of code review to do to catch up, but in Robla's words, that is something we wanted to do anyway.


 * Updated Bugzilla default assignees and default CC lists
 * I worked with Sumana to clear out the default assignee lists. I also used the time to do an individual triage with Chad and Aaron Schultz to figure out which of those bugs that they had been assigned by default that they should really own.  I still need to do this with other developers, and I may be able to make better use of my time to do that this week since I did some substantial work on the scripts to find these bugs this past week.  (One improvement: find bugs for which a developer is assigned but they haven't touched.)  Roan and Sam have no default assigments, which, according to Roan, is because Sam has been clearing out both of them.  Go, Sam!
 * When contacting developers, especially of extensions that the WMF has no vested interest in, I found a that a few extensions needed maintainers, so I put a call out to wikitech-l for new maintainers


 * IWTransclusion review
 * After the TLDR meeting, Sumana said she would talk to Tim and Reedy about moving this along.


 * Weekend work
 * Since I want to Enable e-mail notifications for watchlist (EnotifWatchlist) on all small wikis and we first need to measure the amount of mail this would result in, I've been working on adapting some of my earlier changes to the UserMailer so that we can have a mailer that does logging only. Last night, I thought of introducing a hook here as well.


 * Got Bz data for Claudia Müller-Birn
 * Spent Friday working on some queries to produce a report from Bugzilla data for Claudia that she could use in here visualization classes.
 * Need to get a list of those bugs' initial reports
