Hi Sumana,
I hope you are well and getting ready for wikimania? :)
There is this rfc on mediawiki that I did everything possible to promote, to gather feedback from 3rd parties, etc. but now it is all done. From this point on I cannot bring it any further.
What to do in this cases? Mark it as closed and unsolvable? Or ask for a volunteer?
Thanks! Micru

Micru's Associated namespaces RfC is up for discussion this week.

(We also have room for 1 more RfC to discuss.)
Micru said about
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Associated_namespaces :
The intended outcome would be:
- find out if there is any objection against the "Namespace registry
and
association handlers" that Mark proposed 2) discuss possible problems with this approach 3) see if there would be any hands available to work on it; it is a delicate topic that might need someone with a deep understanding of
MediaWiki
Micru also noted that we've had a previous suggestion for a namespace manager https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Namespace_manager .
AFIK, it never materialized because back then there was not such a great need as there is now - or at least the current use cases didn't exist
back
then. I hope this RFC moves forward because it affects important upcoming and already deployed projects (Commons migration, templates, Visual editor,
WD,
etc).
