Putting this in because it's long been a pipe dream of mine...
It would be nice if we eventually got around to cleaning up the maintenance scripts. Some of them don't even work anymore, some are obsolete and should be clearly marked as such.
It would be nice to migrate them all to a unified format (maybe an abstract Maintenance class that various scripts can implement.

List of the ultimate goals:
I have the basic start of a patch for #2, just missing a few features. Ports all of the commandLine.inc code to it, plus some extra goodies. Will attach when ready.
Assigning to me, should've been that way already. Also adding URL to page on MW.org. I encourage people to read and comment on this, as I would like a wide range of input.
Merged current work in r52336. Still needs work, but the framework should be in place to keep going.
Created attachment 6369
Patch against trunk, r53514
Doesn't complete everything, but implements the vast majority of the work. Merges cleanly against r53514. commandLine.inc is _untouched_ at this point, so everything relying on it should still work 100%.
attachment maintenance-work.patch ignored as obsolete
Can we consider this FIXED with the merge of the maintenance work branch or are there still open issues?
Hmmm, I guess we could. This bug was a tracker for general cleanup & the merge. Most of the remaining blockers I didn't add anyway.
Closing this out. We've merged and cleaned up most of the issues. The few straggling blockers can be cleaned up without this tracker :)
