I think what's happening is that someone (ie. me :p) figured it was
about frigging time to actually send those patches to the git mailing
list. ;) And I'm glad we're seeing such good reviews, so thanks Eric for
that...

That's too bad, but thanks for the feedback anyways. :)

Frankly, I'm tempted to just completely remove the
get_mw_namespace_id_for_page hunk - it's completely unrelated to the
rest of the patch.

Could that be a bugfix for a separate issue that crept up in your
patchset? For example this?
