FYI: The RenderPreferencesForm hook can also be used to add new preference sections (tabs), see the Gadgets extension for an example.

It would be nice if this were more generic so you could add preferences to any tab. One option would be to use string member variables that get appended to each tab section when that section is added to wgOut, and then call a hook at the beginning of the process to allow hooks to add content to those members. This is already done in SpecialUpload.php with $uploadFormTextTop and in EditPage.php with $editFormPageTop, etc.

Right. More general would help a lot here.
Also, this patch doesn't apply, missing the INDEX param.
