Single-revision deletion expansion to administrators

There are a few bugs open on granting single-revision deletion rights to administrators on English (<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21165>) and German (<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19697>) Wikipedias, as well as all Wikimedia sites (<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18780>). I've had a few users ask me what's holding up implementation.

I can see one bug blocking one of them (<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20186>), but other than that I'm not aware of any outstanding issues.

I'm assuming that nobody really knows what's going on here, and that nobody is actively working on any of the bugs that supposedly block implementation. Does anybody know any more about what's going on with this?

It's not particularly easy to use, but it seemed good enough for
deployment when I last reviewed it.

Certainly better than the stupid selective deletion hack we use now. These
bugs could be revised after the switch is flipped, yes?

In the absence of any further objections, I'd like to provisionally announce my intention to activate it on those sites which have requested it by the end of the week.

If you have an objection to deploying this, please speak now or forever hold your peace :)

Isn't that actually *all* sites? Or did you mean you're only doing wikis
where it was individually requested?
