NaturalLanguageList gets looked at again. NaturalLanguageList was not sufficiently inspiring to get included in the roadmap.
I don't know about this particular extension and do not with the comment on it, but rather on the general notion of being "sufficiently inspiring". If a particular piece of code is or is not obviously depends on who you ask. Since CR is managed by WMF staff, it needs to be directly useful to WMF for review resources to be allocated. That might not be the official standpoint on it, but is what is happening as far as I can tell. So WMF is put before MediaWiki itself. I think this is bad for the community and blocks certain kinds of innovation to the software.
I do not know how to improve the situation, but think it's important to acknowledge it (which many staff do not seem to do) as a first step.
