MediaWiki is not a Wikimedia-only product, Wikimedia and Wikipedia are one user of MediaWiki. And the MediaWiki development community is separate from Wikimedia and consists of more than just people developing features intended for the Wiki[pm]edia community. I do not believe it should be the responsibility of volunteer MediaWiki community developers to provide the on-site deployment news for a single user of the software.
