Indeed. Our conventions around how Composer should be used in MediaWiki development, release and deployment have settled. I don't think we're in an ideal or perfect situation but it seems to be working well enough right now and meets the original criteria for adopting Composer
However, the RFC about agreeing how to use Composer (initially) is a separate one:https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Composer_managed_libraries_for_use_on_WMF_cluster
Despite its generic name, this RFC (T105638) was not so much about setting up how we use Composer, but changing how we use Composer to be different. Specifically to address complexity with regards to merging composer.json files from multiple sources whilst still making it easy and consistent to test and install separately. This was mainly for the use case of the Wikidata build, which is being changed to not have its own vendor install anymore, thus making this an RFC without a shephard/stakeholder.
The idea of automating mediawiki/vendor and/or to move the Composer step to be during CI or deployment, instead of in Git, remains interesting for the future. But following a reevaluation from TechCom, I'm closing this RFC given the original use case is becoming obsolete, and there is no longer resourcing from the affected teams for this problem.
Affected teams (e.g. Release Engineering or MediaWiki Platform Team) are free to create a new RFC at any time, possibly borrowing some of the ideas from this RFC.
