I understand it, that only employees of the foundation
are actually
permitted to write the code which is going to be deployed to wmf
sites. If that is true, it should be noted somewhere, so that
volunteers (the people who aren't employees / paid for that) can know
that spending time on creating such an extensions, will likely result
in it never going to be implemented, thus it's not anything they are
suggested to do.
This is not correct - extensions by volunteers are deployed. To cite
just two notable examples, Cite and CategoryTree. AFAIK, neither Ævar
nor Daniel are or were paid by the WMF; Daniel works at WM-DE, but
that's a separate organization.
That said, better documentation about the Foundation's process for
deciding what is deployed would be quite useful.
