Don't we have it as maintenance/installExtension.php?
While that serves a similar purpose it works entirely differently. That scripts requires shell access, it requires the extension files to have already been uploaded to the server, does not provide a user friendly interface and in most cases does not assist configuration.
What an extension manager\repository combination would provide is a user interface that even less experienced users could use allowing them to install and configure extension from a wide range of sources, rather than being forced to download from subversion and manually configure via LocalSettings.php. This would also reduce the chance of erroneous user input by moving configuration to a variety of validation systems designed with ease of use in mind.
