I suggest submitting a pull request for these. Some of them might not be accepted however if they either aren't used on any trusted wikis like Wikimedia or Wikia or mess with global accounts like UserMerge. Kudu (talk) 19:21, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

I understand. almost all of these extensions are used on Wikimedia websites or I have personally tested and found free of outstanding issues, so I'll submit the appropriate pull requests ASAP, but User Merge And Delete is not essential, so any extensions that may interfere with the appropriate function of global accounts I will drop from my list of requests.

I submitted a pull request for all extensions available from the Wikimedia Gerrit repository not already included in the Orain fork to be added. The other extensions are either available via Subversion only, as wikicode on MediaWiki.org, or available via third party downloads, so I was unsure what to do from there.
