In the current change, the purpose is to provide a clean, feature-rich
interface which developers can use to send emails.

In particular, there is a mail library called SwiftMailer which
provides bounce detection, among other things. Bounce detection would
be a nice thing to have. It is proposed that developers use
SwiftMailer directly instead of using a MediaWiki wrapper which
optionally uses SwiftMailer. This would make the MW core smaller and
thus easier to maintain.
