Thread:Support/Add MediaWiki Extensions from github to translation/reply

We decided long ago that we are not going to do this. We just don't have resources to handle hundreds of extensions individually.

In WMF repos:
 * We automatically have push and merge rights
 * The repository paths follow a pattern
 * The list of available repositories is automatically updated
 * We can easily find the developers of the extension and use bugzilla
 * We can do i18n review of the code in Gerrit
 * There is single repo the users will use and get the latest translations
 * Someone else can continue maintaining the extension without forking
 * One command to update, export and commit all extensions at once.

In GitHub:
 * We need to ask push and merge permissions
 * We need to manually configure our repo(create|update|export|commit) scripts
 * We have to follow yet another place to do code review and report issues
 * Someone might fork the repository and we don't even know
 * No unified notification of new commits like we do with mediawiki-commits

Some of these issues are fixable, some of them are not. We highly recommend to stay in WMF repos because then we can provide your extension good l10n service.
