Allow me to introduce you to the oldest report that didn't receive any reply in our entire Bugzilla. It's related with maps:
Bug 2340 - Support for OS grid refs for maps of UK and Ireland https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2340
I have no idea about the topic itself, but maybe someone in this list can follow up there, and remove such honor from that report. :)

There are two aspects to this bug:
a) Geographical coordinates should be resolved internally, without GeoHack (sic!).
b) Treat OS grid coordinates as first-class citizens.
For the first use case, there is Extension:MapSources (not to be confused with my Extension:Mapsources :-)) for the presentational side which has been deployed to the Wikivoy- ages, and Extension:GeoData for a database backend.
I don't know if someone is eager to open Pandora's box and promise support for the various other coordinate formats.
