Comment (by spacedmonkey):

 > Is the service is popular enough for core developers to have heard of it
 before? Is it “mainstream?”

 Giphy powers the gif interface for twitter, whatapps and facebook
 messager. You may have never heard of the brand, but you used this
 service.

 > If similar services are already supported, how does this service compare
 in terms of size, features, and backing?

 There isn't another gif service in Core. This would be the first.

 > Does this service have a large following on Twitter, Facebook, or other
 social media?  Is its Twitter account verified?

 https://www.facebook.com/GIPHY/ - 1m followers
 https://twitter.com/GIPHY - Verified - 256k followers.

 > Is its oEmbed endpoint clearly established and properly documented?
 I can't find anymore documention for it on the developer site.
 https://developers.giphy.com/docs/

 > Does the oEmbed endpoint work with WordPress’ oEmbed auto-discovery? If
 not, could it be made to work with additional HTML tags or attributes
 being whitelisted?
 It works with auto discovery for one of the 3 support url pattern.

 > Does the service make an effort to build relationships with developers,
 such as through robust APIs?

 There is a well documented api found here
 https://developers.giphy.com/docs/

 > How old is the service?

 Founded in 2013. So 6 years.

 > Does it have a well-established Wikipedia article? (Seriously.)

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giphy

 > Has anyone written a WordPress plugin that leverages the service in some
 way, whether adding it as an oEmbed provider, creating a shortcode, or
 leveraging other APIs of the service? Do these plugins have any noticeable
 adoption or traction that would indicate usage and demand?

 https://wordpress.org/plugins/giphypress/ - 6,000+ installs /
 https://github.com/youknowriad/dropit - Plugin by @youknowriad and
 @desrosj

 > Is the provider frequently proposed?
 This seems to be the first ticket for this.
