Right. Not everything needs a Vagrant role. However, having one definitely
increases the chance of people using your extension :) As Baha suggested,
you can file a new task in Phabricator and tag it with the
MediaWiki-Vagrant project.

I would strongly suggest, though, to look at other extension roles and
model yours after them. Just take a peek in the
puppet/modules/role/manifests directory of your vagrant clone.

Either is fine, I think.
