I'm preparing the configuration change: Gerrit change 39919

Could you get a local consensus to confirm French Wikisource community (i) wants to fix this (ii) with a limit of 70?

[ Taking this bug. Keywords: shell -> shellpolicy, adding patch-in-gerrit. ]

Gerrit change #23065 (39919 is the bug id)

Instead of opening a loophole for overloading the servers, I'd rather prefer to have an option to generate the feed entries less frequently. Dereckson, your link doesn't work and I don't see your change in Gerrit. Where is it?

Wonderful. Drafts aren't public.

Bugzilla doesn't like Gerrit Gitweb URLs.

We'll get an URL one day... http://tinyurl.com/gerrit23065

Gerrit change abandoned.

Please open a new bug stating your problem in more general terms.

MaxSem indicated he would like to find an alternative solution, without an overload or DoS risk for the servers.

I've reformulated this bug, hope to fix this feature soon.

I see that the discussion agreed to expansion of items for the feed; counting more days or weeks instead of days has the same practical effect for the purpose, so +shell.
