There are plenty the other way around, I'm sure. Those just don't
modify MediaWiki, so they aren't classified as MediaWiki extensions
and aren't listed with them. I bet someone's done a phpBB extension
that authenticates using a MW database, for instance.
Of course, you could always just use LDAP or something for both.
