In http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/41710 Poem Extension is integrated with MediaWiki. Yay!
I still think it's a terrible idea for it to be merged into core under that name. It's way, way more generic than poems, and practically no wikis have any significant number of poems.
However, this was done without mentioning either me or Steve Sanbeg (who did more work on it than me) anywhere. Worse, whoever this Nathaniel Herman is, he didn't forgot to sign himself in both CREDITS and RELEASE-NOTES so that it appears that he is the author while in fact he has only adjusted the extension to the core.
Note that it's most likely that Skizzerz changed CREDITS and RELEASE-NOTES, not the patch submitter. I'm pretty sure we don't need to be crediting anyone in RELEASE-NOTES anyway, when we have CREDITS now.
I don't have the time to fix this at the moment, but I'm sure someone will soon.
