Sorry about the delay; the Wikimedia Foundation had a third-party security audit of our site and code (including MediaWiki). This turned up a number of security issues that we have been/are fixing. Some are taking longer than expected.
The stated understanding before the security audit was to: * Have the audit completed (Done) * Address all issues found (in-progress) * Release both a security release of MW (and extensions) along with the security audit for public consumption.
Obviously we don't want to release the audit until after fixes for all of the issues are released.
We hope to have that security release out soon; we are working on it (the issues) in earnest.
Thanks for your understanding,
Greg

I know it's not the most helpful thing (because the blocking tasks are private, and have other blocking tasks that are also private) but this is the tracking bug for the release: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T88120

By the way: This bug is linked from https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.24 in the Release schedule, too :)

Oh cool. That should be an interesting read.
