Just checking if this has been discussed with the extension developer/maintainer, especially since they already have GitHub issues turned on which could lead to fractured discussions?

I would like to create this tag as part of the work on this task T344501; we can wait until @Ernstkm transfers repository to Gerrit.

I'd rather wait until @Ernstkm states in which one single place they'd like to manage their codebase and their tickets.

Hi, all. Thanks for your patience.

I seem to have become the de facto maintainer of this extension by posting a comment to the Talk: page about updating it to work with 1.35.x. I'm not sure I'll be able to keep pace with newer MediaWiki versions, as I tend to stick with LTS releases for as long as possible for my internal wikis. Hopefully that's not a problem.

That said, I'm amenable to doing whatever is necessary to ensure the health and longevity of this extension. If that means moving it from GitHub to WMF code hosting, that sounds fine to me. Is GitLab an option?

Assigning to @Ernstkm per last comment; please reset assignee once done
