It is a WMF legal issue, in addition to being a social issue. No "claim" is being made that its a legal issue, it's just a fact.

Discussing something as a general social concern is one thing, claiming that it is a wmf legal issue is something different. John

Are the developers lawyers? A developer claiming something has an unwanted privacy issue is very different from making claims about something being a legal issue on the behalf of Foundation. Simply don't do it.
Privacy is not simply a legal issue, it's a general social concern. Our privacy policy should not be treated as merely a legal document, it's an effort to express part of our social compact. Unless it's a matter of interpreting legal regulations somewhere else, I consider the developers equally competent to address privacy issues. If Brion or Tim or Domas identify an issue, they don't need to run to Mike every time to check that it really is something that should be addressed.
