Special:Version on some wikis includes the date and hash of an extension from its git repository, e.g. https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Version But the siteinfo API query for extensions does not return this information, e.g. https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=extensions It would be nice if siteinfo provided this info. One use case is finding out the version of an extension that a wiki is running, so remote browsertests can run matching code. The code is in SpecialVersion::getVersionLinkedGit() but it's not factored well for reuse (returns a string). Maybe GitInfo.php should provide this information to callers.
bug 48418 requests extra info from siteinfo. Gerrit change #65299 returns additional info about extensions, including its commit hash, but not the date. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 48418 ***
