Well, the main solution is to create an ecosystem where people get 
hired to work (full-time) on providing such extensions (or additions 
to the mainline) to MediaWiki. Only this setup can provide some continuity.

I'm working on getting projects setup to do exactly that. (I 
mentioned this in a private note.) But for that to work the MediaWiki 
community needs be accepting of (corporate) contributions (assuming 
they follow the licenses and community spirit).

Are there any examples or even defined processes (on meta?) that I 
could look up?

Thanks,
Dirk
