Thread:Talk:Requests for comment/Login via e-mail address/LDAP Authentication and other Third-party Extensions

I'm all for this initiative. I do want to point out that we might wish to reach out to developers of authentication-related extensions like Extension:LDAP_Authentication to make sure they're aware of changes in advance. This way they can be part of the conversation. As a 3rd-party wiki admin myself I use extensions (like LDAP Authentication) and an update to MW Core that breaks compatibility with popular extensions would be sad.
