It looks like this is a limitation of the PHP `NumberFormatter` class, which
MediaWiki uses since that commit:
>>> $nf = new NumberFormatter( 'en', NumberFormatter::DECIMAL );
>>> $nf->format( '999999999999999999' ) # fits in signed 64-bit integer
=> "999,999,999,999,999,999"
>>> $nf->format( '9999999999999999999' ) # does not fit in signed 64-bit
integer
=> "10,000,000,000,000,000,000"
Previously, MediaWiki seems to have implemented this digit grouping using a
lot of string manipulation, without ever parsing the string as a number.
