We'd like to use composer on http://intense.wmflabs.org for all extensions where possible; ConfirmAccount has none. Unless Aaron wants to/can create one under his name, it would be nice for the package to be under the "official" https://packagist.org/users/mediawiki/ , given this is among the ten or so most used extensions out there.

Can you clarify what you mean here? I fail to see how being "a library for MediaWiki core" is relevant for anything. If you know better than the page https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Composer/For_extensions , please share your knowledge by updating the wiki page.

Have you read https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Composer.json_best_practices ?
That's both needs to be replied to and that has not happened yet.

..and once someone assigns this task to her/himself, feel free to slightly increase priority.

I'll do this myself, if nobody does. As task description says, I'm giving Aaron some time to confirm he doesn't prefer to publish a package himself.

Should this use the merged extension registration RFC method (extension.json) instead (or in addition, though that seems somewhat duplicative?)

How is that related? The page you linked doesn't mention packagist. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Composer/For_extensions#Developer_resources doesn't mention extension.json.

Revert "Revert "Convert to globals and add composer support""
Comment Actions
This was discussed on the Gerrit, but for anyone who didn't see that:
extension.json is not an alternative way to use Composer.
It is (the beginning) of another way to register, manage, and install extensions. See the accepted RFC, https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Extension_registration .

I have tested it now and works please visit https://packagist.org/packages/mediawiki/confirmaccount

Reverted by @Legoktm https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/225663/
I don't understand who is "we". Why would people be prevented from using gerrit extensions in the way most useful to them? Do we really want to encourage forking and mirroring elsewhere?

@Legoktm what was the point in adding composer.json support a year before in mediawiki 1.22 only to stop using it in mediawiki 1.25+.
