A 2022 clone of https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/source/mediawiki.git gives first commits from 2003 by:
* Lee Daniel Crocker: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Daniel_Crocker
> He is best known for rewriting the software upon which Wikipedia runs, to address scalability problems.
so that gives a good notion of the last major rewrite.
* Brion Vibber
TODO when was wikipedia open sourced from <Nupedia>? The ealry days of Wikipedia are quite obscure due to its transition from Nupedia.
