I don't see how that makes them any more separate from other projects
than, say, Wikibooks is separate from Wikipedia.  Yes, there are
probably participants who aren't interested in any other Wikimedia
project, but that's true for all of Wikimedia's projects (well, maybe
not Commons).  MediaWiki itself is a Wikimedia project, at least
according to this official-looking list:

http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Our_projects

So contributions to MediaWiki are contributions to a Wikimedia
project, even if the contributions aren't useful to other Wikimedia
projects (e.g., extensions that Wikimedia has no interest in).
