I am working on an extension and would like to add some functionality to the 'usercontribs' api module (api/ApiQueryUserContributions.) I cannot subclass the ApiQueryUserContributions class and get the functionality I want because there are a number of methods that have a 'private' scope. Is there a reason that these are private and not protected?

You're right, those methods should be protected. Unless there's any disagreement I'll be happy to fix that after the code slush (unless Reedy is ok with it for 1.19)
