Most excellent Dereckson, thank you for creating this. When available, I can add this to the information I collect and display on WikiApiary for extensions. http://wikiapiary.com/wiki/Extension:Main_Page
Hurm... I guess the gerrit bot isn't on today or something: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/65299/
This is awesome — thanks Matt!

Yes -- I wrote the feature first and then discovered there were bugs for it.

I could do a lot to help people that run MediaWiki if we can even just get the git-hash into the API. So, still hoping to see this get out.
Any update on this patch? It would be stunning to see this get integrated into the API.
[Bumping TM as MediaWiki 1.22.0 tarball was released today.]
Mark, do we have a tracking bug, wiki wishlist or anything where to list features like this which would help us support third party wikis and release compatibility?

Change 65299 merged by jenkins-bot: Add licensing for extensions to Special:Version https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/65299
This has now been merged.
I didn't notice this until it became a fait accompli, but I was wondering, what purpose does it serve to have the license appear in Special:Version? Is that because some licenses might require it?
I don't know either, see comment 4. <http://meta.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=extensions> seems to satisfy comment 0 though.
This is awesome to have the vcs-* fields now in the API thanks! It would be great to have the new license information in this as well. I created bug 59655 for that.
