This is from a very reliable source but is 4 years old (pre-MySQL 8): https://www.percona.com/blog/2017/11/02/mysql-vs-mariadb-rea...

Separately you can search for "What's new in MySQL 8" type posts, nearly everything there is unique to MySQL. Some of the 5.7 stuff too, like native json column type.

Ditto for recent MariaDB releases, btw! To be fair they have some cool stuff that MySQL lacks, such as system versioned tables, Oracle DB compatibility layer, native column types for uuid and inet6 (IPv6 addresses), etc.

Mariadb has an oracle compatibility layer??? Ah but it's at the query layer not the wire protocol. Still very cool.

Now that apis aren't patentable we might see something some day. I imagine reverse engineering it might be hard though.
