I think Chad (^demon) was the the one focusing on this area. We should
ask
him what his plans were.
I had some rough ideas, but they never got fleshed out. In my ideal
world, I was thinking something like an abstract Extension class
that each extension would implement. It would have methods for
returning things $wgExtensionCredits does now, as well as being
able to say "I depend on Foo" extension. Then we'd have some kind
of ExtensionRegistry, so enabling an extension would be something
like ExtensionRegistry::register( new MyExt );
But yeah, I never really got further than that.

Hmmm... I do like the idea of an extension class for some things.
But I think that some of this metadata may be used in places we don't want
to execute php. So we probably also want a proper flat-file format.
