Add Python/Tox support to Blubber - task T186545
Add Ruby/Gem/Bundler/Rake support to Blubber - task T188950


Program 3: Outcome 1: Objective 2: Identify and find stewards for high-priority/high use code segment orphans

Program 3: Outcome2: Objective 2: Define and implement a process to regularly address technical debt across the Foundation

edit
Roll out of technical debt reduction approaches.

Program 6: Outcome 2: Objective 2: Prove viability of testing staged service containers alongside MediaWiki extension containers

edit
Add Composer support to Blubber - task T186547
Small, standalone, MediaWiki containers built using Blubber
Limited scope with: Debian Stretch, php7, composer dependencies, Mariadb, Apache (or last two with standalone containers)
Build MW base containers upon branch cut at master branch point from core
    • Messing with Blubber/Composer and MediaWiki core but it's unclear how viable Composer-based dependency installation will be
Build ext specific containers using MW image as base
