Hoi,
I would seriously consider this for two reasons. Yes, we can include this
kind of information, obviously. It is worthwhile information so that is one.
The most important reason why I want to seriously have this information is
because the audience we gain. It is the developers of MediaWiki. They gain
first hand experience and consequently they will start first to gain
experience and use it and second start to consider it for what else
Wikidata can do for them.
My blogpost about Commons and Wikidata was written exactly because Wikidata
is not understood and considered by this most vital group for the further
development of Wikidata and MediaWiki.
Thanks,
GerardM

Organize MediaWiki's catalog of 1000s of

this a sensible idea? Reality checks and other opinions are welcome here or

Pasting the relevant part for convenience:
Has anybody discussed the possibility of creating Wikidata items for
extensions, after defining a set of properties to describe them? Linking
those Wikidata items to
mediawiki.org extension pages, and then playing
with templates and what not to keep the semantic data up to date (version
number, last release, dependencies, compatible with MediaWiki releases...)?
Then play with templates, queries and visualizations to create all kinds of
useful output, from structured extension pages to a proper and robust map
of extensions.
