A few minor issues:
I guess you are using "if ( is_array( $wgFailedPasswordAttemptNotifcation ) )
{" so that it could be disabled with $wgFailedPasswordAttemptNotifcation =
false; or something similar. Please document.
New messages have to be added to maintenance/language/messages.inc
Do not use magic values as 172800 (48h)
Use tabs, not spaces.
There's a mising } at notifyUser (line 839)
The code will not send an email if there is one check at epoch X, three more at
X + 172780, then four at X + 172810 (7 checks in 30 seconds). Is this expected?

Now about the content:
I am not sure about the email sent. What do we expect the people on
{{SITENAME}} to do? A sysadmin could filter it on the firewall, but not a
sysop.
This is not able to detect attacks from several ips (eg. a botnet), although
our throttling has the same limitation.
Could this have implications with WMF privacy policy? (for WMF sites)
