As Danny said, this is a wonderful thing to point out, and his answer
way more authoritative than mine.  Thinking back to my early MediaWiki
contribution experience, I would have loved to have had a ranked list
of "these are things that are really important" so that I knew my
contribution would ultimately be appreciated and important to the
project.

Are you asking on behalf of a specific potential contributor (e.g.
yourself) or are you making a more general request that we don't
accidentally cookie lick[1] the ideas on this list?

putting it back on the cookie tray without eating it (essentially
preventing anyone else from having it)

[Wikitech-l] Updating the MediaWiki Debian package

[Legoktm]

Hi,

Over the past few months, I've been working with LFaraone, Faidon, and
Moritz on updating the super old 1.19.x Debian package of MediaWiki to
use a more modern version (currently 1.25.x) and just generally improve
the quality of it. (Yes, it uses MySQL by default, not postgres!)

It's currently waiting in the "new" queue[1], but if you'd like to test
it out, I've uploaded the debs at [2]. If you find any bugs or have
feature requests, you can let me know or file a request in the
MediaWiki-Debian[3] Phabricator project. The debian/ files used to
create the package can be found in Gerrit in the mediawiki/debian
repository[4].
