I would agree with Matt's evaluation. For signatures I'd suggest factoring in SineBot if it wasn't building for a single wiki - that would nicely cover situations where people forget the four tildes.

Thanks, Matthew, your good insights are much appreciated!
Let us know how that user mention notification works for you in practice.
Anyone else have suggestions about missing use cases for that feature?

Hey folks,
We just released a new version of Echo on MediaWiki.org, for your
interactive pleasure.
Sounds great.
Can you help us take it for a spin?
Will do.
• support links with single brackets
I think that's extremely rare and discouraged (it would be a same-wiki or interwiki external link), so it's probably not worth the effort.
• support user links on 'Wikipedia:' pages
Probably useful (e.g. Village pump)
• support user links on article pages
Definitely not namespace 0, if that's what you mean by article. That's an anti-pattern.
• support user links without requiring a signature
Probably not necessary, but avoids the need for signature detection code (do you support custom signatures like mine?) and could be useful in some edge cases.
