Last time I did a mediawiki import I used
https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/sandbox/tree/master/xwiki-wikiimporter,
worked reasonably well but yes there is no release of it (but it's
easy to build it with Maven). Ideally someone need to spend some time
converting and improving the mediawiki part it as an input module for
the new XWiki Filter module (see
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Filter+Module).
