I dont see any benefit in getting a newbie to do this change.  The minimal fix 
is a 30 mins code change, max, and they don't learn a generic skill.  Verifying 
that their change works correctly is a much harder problem, and I think it is 
very unlikely that a newbie will be able to find all the places that need to be 
tested to verify that this is working correctly, and/or actually test them.

We also need to triage this more.

Family.crossnamespace is only used by interwiki.py , and why do we need to 
support interwiki.py for Wikipedia?  Is there interwiki.py functionality 
_for_Wikipedia_ which isnt replaced by Wikidata?

But thinking out loud ... we should have a unit test which checks that all 
Family namespaces are actually namespaces on the site.  i.e. when site config 
changes conflict with our Family classes, we shouldnt need a bug report - the 
unit tests should yell out that something is wrong.
