If supports for MariaDB gets added to core and it's as complete as the MySQL support, I'd expect Wikibase to be automatically compatible, esp considering the similarity between the two RDBMS.
I don't think that is necessary. MariaDB is a fork of MySQL, and as far as I know pretty much 100% backwards compatible, except perhaps for low level stuff like supported storage engines, etc. So we might not even see explicit MariaDB support for a while, since it's covered by MySQL support.
