Any reason you haven't installed it in GNU ELPA yet?
Anything I can help with to do that?

> Below is the summary of the features already implemented (but

> roughly the order of decreasing “user visibility.”
> • Fixed ‘vc-mw-buffer-page-state’ to support the new (as of
> 2014-11-20) two-argument interface in, – bringing back the
> vc-mw.el compatibility with Emacs 25. (Support for the
> Emacs 24 three-argument interface is retained.)
> • Added support for vc-dir, vc-diff, and vc-revert operations.
> • Adapted ‘mw-eww-preview’ to the ‘eww-display-html’
> “multi-buffer” support added on 2014-11-10.
> • New ‘vc-mw-revision-query-alist’ customizable variable,
> allowing for an empty “continuation cookie” to be added to all
> the vc-mw.el queries in order to silence a warning emitted by
> the recent MediaWiki versions. And it allows for the set of
> entries shown by vc-print-log to be customized, too, – to the
> extent allowed by the remote MediaWiki instance.
> • New ‘mw-buffer’, ‘mw-api’, and the package’s top-level ‘mw’
> customization groups, allowing for easier customization of the
> respective variables.
> • The state determination code (vc-mw-buffer-page-state) will
> now use SHA-1 digests of the revisions, either as returned by
> the MediaWiki endpoint (including after running vc-print-log),
> or as computed by vc-mw.el itself. (Prior to this change,
> vc-mw.el had to retrieve the full content of the page to
> discern the needs-update vs. needs-merge and update vs. edited
> states.) Either way, the digests will be cached.
> • Support for token types other than ‘csrf’ and ‘edit’.
> • A few further fixes to vc-mw.el and mw-eww.el.
> The features just planned are as follows.
> • Associate buffer with a revision by its (cached) SHA-1.
> Makes it possible to recover the state after, say, erasing the
> desktop file.
> • Customizable queries for mw-buffer.el, mw-eww.el, and
> mw-info.el facilities, – also providing a way to get rid of
> certain MediaWiki warnings.
> • Asynchronous operation, – especially for vc-dir and
> mw-buffer-try-file-name (try using vc-dir on a directory
> holding some 768+ individual MediaWiki page files! or
> restoring a desktop file listing all of them, anyway), but
> also possibly for vc-print-log.
