As a blocker to T108557 going any further...

MediaWiki-extensions-UrlShortener is wanted by various projects, and is half deployed on Wikimedia Wikis in a read-only state. There is no owner of the extension or its deployment, as such, it's currently stuck.

It has been installed in a readonly mode for the last 2 years - https://github.com/wikimedia/operations-mediawiki-config/commit/6696f1e5dad6d2a02c40c4464f47d6e270855879
