Like Amir said, it was announced a week ago. There were no objections.
There were very few comments on the test2 deployment, probably because
the Labs deployment served the same purpose.
What we want from the
mediawiki.org deployment is to start building a
community of people who will convert templates to Lua, not just
because they want to help us test the software, but also because they
want to get useful things done. Their comments will help to drive
future development.
Our goal is to deploy this extension to all Wikimedia wikis. If you
don't like that idea, now would be a good time to say something.
The schedule for deployment has not yet been decided. It will depend
on what bug reports and feature requests are submitted by the early
adopters. Performance issues may be found, once we have real-world
test cases. We will need to decide how much extra development work is
needed before a full-scale rollout.
It's been over a year since I started work on Lua support. From the
outset, I wanted it to be a project with a constrained scope, a
project that can be brought to completion, instead of trailing off
into vapour. I wanted to make something happen.
So my inclination is to push for deployment with a minimum of
additional development work. But I'm not the target audience; my
inclinations have to be weighed against the needs of the users.

Hi Tim!
Would you mind you please tell me where
1) the discussion about deploying Lua on
mw.org ,
2) the announcement that it will be deployed on
mw.org on Aug 22.
3) the roadmap and plans of further deployment of Scribunto on
Wikipedias and other Wikimedia projects
...took place? I'm sure that such discussions has taken place
somewhere, because if not - that's not very mature behavior for open
source developer team.
