You’re free to do that. I’ll be uploading Mediawiki 1.23 to Debian.
It’s your choice if that Breaks: fusionforge, then, if FF does not
support it…
I’ll ask before uploading a patched FF to Debian experimental, of
course.

If they’re not invasive, FF doesn’t need to be patched.
I will not be supporting a backport of mediawiki. It’s enough
maintenance work already, and not tested enough (I broke one
security upload completely, and do not want a repeat of that).
