It states on the extension page that this extension is
being developed with
the aim of being integrated into MW 2.0 - is this an aspiration of just the
extension developers, or also of the MW developers themselves?
That extension description page is generally way out of date. There
are currently no plans to make LQT part of MediaWiki proper.
Wikimedia is contracting David McCabe, the developer of the extension,
to address known bugs, usability issues and add wanted features. Our
goal is to experiment with the extension in limited contexts such as
site-wide forums and feedback areas. If WMF does end up adopting the
extension, even in such narrow cases, it will likely be an
organizational commitment to continued maintenance. But currently
there is no such commitment from WMF.
LQT is used by
WikiEducator.org, which does regularly update
MediaWiki, so there is at least one existing community that has an
interest in making sure LQT works with recent releases.
