It seems to me that delivering *static* thumbnails of GIF images, either in GIF or PNG format, would be a considerable improvement over the current situation. And indeed, the code to do that seems to be already in place: just set $wgMaxAnimatedGifArea = 0;
IIRC, we don't yet have working detection for animated GIFs: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16451
That shouldn't matter, should it? Setting $wgMaxAnimatedGifArea to N simply causes Bitmap.php to tell ImageMagick to only extract the first frame of any GIF files with N or more pixels (which makes no difference if the GIF in fact only has one frame).
