I would very strongly recommend to use Semantic
MediaWiki for this use
case. It is more powerful, we use SMW in other WMF contexts already,
Only on
wikitech.wikimedia.org, and only until Ryan Lane figures out how
to use Wikidata to manage the labs provisioning/etc :)
and
supporting the data inside Meta (instead of inside Wikidata and then
transcluding it) allows us also to generate workflows in Meta involving
local User-accounts, etc., and reduces complexity since the data is saved
in one place, and you don't have to switch between Meta and Wikidata to
update the data for an extension. It also frees Wikidata for having have to
extend their policies to support this specific use case (would MediaWiki
extension developers all get their own item per Notability, etc.). Also,
SMW already right now supports the uses cases you are asking for right now.
I understand that SMW was already suggested in Bugzilla. I understand
Wikidata looks more sexy right now, but I think it is not the most
appropriate tool for this use case.
Very useful points though.
I have no horse in this race, but I do want the best tool for the job to
win.
