He has submitted two patches, 1907586 and 1918278. I think the approach is worth a try, but the patches seem to be already outdated.

They are. I run the patched version. I am following / solving the related change conflics.
So, Purodha, would you like to have developer access to the SVN repository? And what do others think about my suggestion?
Yes, I do. At least with those small things like additional translated messages, etc. it will be helpful at once.
If I feel insecure about a patch, I can always ask for a review anyways, and I shall likely continue to learn :-)
Well, like in Wikipedia, I'd like to encourage you to be bold [1] in editing the source code.
I have run into token problems that would probably be fixed by your changes, and I would really be happy if you committed them to SVN. I don't think there are any major bugs anymore, as you've probably done thousands of edits with your version, and even if there are, we can fix them together, or roll back the changes if that is not possible.
As you can see in [2], you are already on the developers list. I'm not sure if this is for MediaWiki, for PyWikiBot, or both.
Cheers
