Hey,
I'm looking for a way to collect existing extension meta-data from the SVN repo and maybe also the extension pages on MediaWiki.org. Does anyone know of scripts/tools that already do this?
Depending on what metadata you need, the $wgExtensionCredits variable could be your friend. Note that the extension doesn't need to actually be installed: in most cases you can get away with just locating the file that contains the $wgExtensionCredits assignment and require()ing that file. This will probably fail in some cases, but most setup files only contain assignments.
