Well for starters the read rights for addon namespaces would be a nice
first step.

Just a note that I think our stance on per-page
access restrictions
has always been: "Do this at your own risk. This is not supported and
will probably never be. We suggest you use another piece of software
if you really need this." MediaWiki really isn't designed to be a
content management system with very granular access settings, which is
why we don't officially support it.
I don't want to derail this thread,
but I will say this:
Even though this is what people say in #mediawiki, I know many
respected developers who don't share this approach, especially the
"will probably never be supported" part. The security issues are
well-known and in some extensions worked around — regardless, having
an understanding of what parts of code read page text contributes to
our overall code quality and security, and is definitely a worthwhile
enterprise.
