Thanks for forwarding, very appropriate to do so.
I note there was one line about this in
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Architecture_committee/2017-03-01: «The
new MediaWiki team is up and running, with Tim Starling in the lead.
There is a job opening for Product Manager for MediaWiki». I asked for
more context on the talk page, but of course it's good if Wikimedia
Foundation invests more in MediaWiki per se.
