I saw (via Siebrand) this tweet Tuesday from Nils Adermann of Composer fame:
Fusing #PHP communities: Promising discussions on code reuse in
#MediaWiki through #composerphp this afternoon at @wikimedia, thanks
@robla!

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 (
http://getcomposer.org/).
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?
