In theory I'm the one who gets to decide what extensions are available on Miraheze (barring any sysadmins hitting implementation issues), but we also have another reviewer now. I'm still CFO of Miraheze (please donate money, we're starting to run a bit low).
The problem I keep hitting is that I'm busy most of the time. At work, I've been around for 5 years now, which means that I really am a senior developer, because people keep asking me things how things work and I actually know the answer half the time! I'm trying to stay involved in elections, which you might have noticed in the U.S. are kind of a big deal right now. So there's the volunteering for Miraheze thing I mentioned above. And then, I'm involved in writing this crazy fanfic project, There's Nothing Better, and the stories really want to come out. And I'm writing comedy, which is just hard, because it means you might have to go over the same passage twenty times until you get the wording right and the timing tight.
The problem is that all of these things require writing, reading, and editing, so none of these things is really a break from the other. They're all competing for time from the same well of creativity. What gets done is usually a question of who's bugging me most, the boss, the news, the IRC channel, or the muse.
