Yes. Brion started a thread about the use of SHA-1 in February 2017: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2017-February/087664.html https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2017-February/087666.html Of note, we have <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Hashing>. The use of base-36 SHA-1 instead of base-16 SHA-1 for revision.rev_sha1 has always perplexed me. It'd be nice to better(?) document that design decision.
