Well I think we agreed before somewhere that we should not use Composer for
installation of MW extensions, and that MW is in dire need of its own
extension management code.

What is the status on this discussion? Are we planning to use Composer
in the future? This sounds really exciting!

I'm talking about Composer (

Of course, MediaWiki isn't aware of this dependency manager and so
MediaWiki's extensions aren't either. I've only looked at it briefly,
but it appears that adding support wouldn't be difficult at all -- it
would just mean adding a file to the git repository.
What do you think?
