Was talking with Roan a bit earlier on IRC about this,
and we got to thinking that an external version.php
file could be defined per-extension. A new 'versionfile'
param could be added to $wgExtensionCredits which
points to the file. The version file could contain the
numeric version, the svn version (which can be updated
by an after-commit hook) and (optionally) a version name.
More or less: do it kind of how we do extension i18n
files right now, plus the hook to auto-update the info
post-commit.

Don't know if it'll solve issue at hand, but we also have extension tags for
a brave few:
http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/tags/extensions/
It definitely helped me to manage my installations (rolling back releases
and so on).
One thing I thought it might be helpful for is for ExtensionDistributor to
use those release tags.
Thank you,
