*Git conversion https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Git/Conversion* The ExtensionDistributorhttps://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ExtensionDistributorwas rewritten in early January. While this was primarily done to support the data center migrationhttp://wikitech.wikimedia.org/view/Eqiad_Migration_Planning, this was the first time ExtensionDistributor had received any signification attention since the migration to Git. The new version now utilizes the Github API to generate extension snapshots. We hope that the new version will be more reliable for users. SVN-based extensions are no longer supported, but this is not expected to impact many users since these extensions are largely unmaintained (all popular and active extensions have long since moved to Gerrit). As always, these extensions will remain in SVN should anyone still want the code.
Also worth mentioning, our SVN is now read-only.
*Site performance https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Site_performance* A patch to allow moving the DB job queue to another cluster is under review. An experimental redis-based job queue patch also exists in gerrit.
According to the link, it has already been merged. I guess that's change 39716, references to the changes should be prefered to ambiguous text like "A patch".
