I have no idea who could look into this. Greg? :-/

MediaWiki's Installer references the extension matrix with message
'Config-extension-link' I figure that the bot should be fixed.

CC'ing the Installer maintainers - worst casemight be to remove that reference

Thanks for the follow-up on this. It will be sad to remove the reference, however this might be the "ultimate" solution. Should probably be done beginning of May, so that the thus adjusted message gets into MW 1.23 (LTS) from the start.

Let's put this to rest.

CC'ing alterego (hopefully the right one) and I also left a comment at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User_talk:Alterego/ExtensionMatrix/Source_code#Bot_not_working

Well, I already pinged him in October last year [1], so I do not see any chances. However, the longer I think about it the better the idea of using WikiAPIary [2] for this appeals to me.

I pleaded for the WMF to host the script in IRC and on several mailing lists and was essentially ignored. Take the code, install mwclient and run it via a cron job on some server that has bot access (I'm happy to give the credidentials to the bot account). It's not rocket science. Just do it. The code is open source and available!

This [1] will probably be a good replacement for the extension matrix bot which is in the pipeline even as we write. Adding a reference to bug 46704 here for this reason.
