Rather than expanding +2 I'm a little more concerned about allowing more people to create repositories.
Currently it can take a half week waiting for a new repo just so you can contribute a new extension, and there's typically no notification. We need to make getting multiple new extensions into version control somewhat close to how easy it was for a committer to do it back in svn.
that's why people set up their own github extension repos.
Heh, quite.
Is there a relevant bug about this? I guess you'd want a general bug about slowness to create new requested repos (that's the issue, right?), maybe with some data as supporting evidence of the slowness. I believe the current workflow is "request made on mediawiki.org; fulfilled within a few days, usually by ^demon", so it should be fairly easy to graph this, if you're interested in seeing this resolved. The workflow probably just needs a bit of optimization?
Allowing users to create their own repos is an interesting idea, but I imagine it's been discussed elsewhere. If anyone has a bug link, that'd be great.
