Unless I'm mistaken, Liquid Threads don't have much of a future and are used only on few wikis like mediawiki.org. Does anyone actually use this information from the dumps?
LiquidThreads is an extension. I don't think extension dumps are within the scope of this, unless we provide some sort of generic "extensions can add stuff to the dump" hook.
The current dumps already store model and format.
Is there something else needed for ContentHandler? The dumps don't really care what is the format or encoding of the revision text, it's just a byte stream to them.
I'm not familiar with the current dump format, but what is being referred to here is that if you set $wgContentHandlerUseDB to true, then the content type (i.e., whether it is Wikitext, or JS/CSS, etc.) can be stored in the database rather than being determined statically by namespace.
