Why is it that there are numerous extensions to bypass MW login and use an external authentication provider, but not a single one the other way round? Strange...
There are plenty the other way around, I'm sure. Those just don't modify MediaWiki, so they aren't classified as MediaWiki extensions and aren't listed with them. I bet someone's done a phpBB extension that authenticates using a MW database, for instance.
Of course, you could always just use LDAP or something for both.
