Hi, Of course, I am following the proposal at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/OAuth, even there is mentioned that it's not clear if it should be extension or in core. In fact I don't see a reason why it couldn't be extension. You can extends api's from extension and even access the permission definitions.
