(or non-obvious) way to know whether an extension like this is still
being maintained?
It'll be the latest version. What's happened is that from 1.6 to 1.7,
some changes to the logging mechanism were made to allow custom
extension writers to add new log types more easily.
These changes were then made directly in the extensions module but, of
course, the person who implemented them didn't check things like
backwards compatibility etc. and has thus broken them with MediaWiki
versions less than 1.7 etc. This is one reason I don't like unilateral
implementations of new methods in old code.
I'll go and check that any minimum version requirements the extensions
are enforcing are up to date with respect to what's being relied upon.
In the meantime, fall back to an older version of the extension.
