Maybe this is something that the MediaWiki release team at MyM [1]
should look at. I guess there is no productive MediaWiki site that does
not use at least one extension, so it might be sensible to support this
as a more essential aspect of the MW develpoment ecosystem and even
release management.

Maybe it's a bigger problem -- mainly the failure of having all the
extensions of Mediawiki more clearly organized and presented to the public.
It's still amazing to me that the one and only method to announce new
extensions, the Extension Matrix, has been broken since October and it seems
there are no plans to fix it. None of the extensions are rated, or have been
rated (I understand there is a Google summer of code working on that --
hopefully it gets somewhere). The level of knowledge to install an extension
varies based on the developer's thoughts.
Mediawiki is great software that deserves a better standard for presenting
itself to the public. When you compare Mediawiki to Wordpress, Joomla, etc.,
one quickly realizes Mediawiki is far behind the curve. For comparison look
at the plugin for Joomla called Jomsocial and the Mediaiwki extension Social
Profile: one has evolved into something that is up to speed in the modern
Internet while one has mostly likely not changed since 2008. Of course, some
extensions will die, or get old, but the Mediawiki model of presenting
extensions is still very poor.
I could go on, but it's already too much of a rant.

Alright Krabina!
Thank you all for your valuable suggestions.
