Indeed.
There was also a Volunteer Development Coordinator position for a bit: https://www.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Permalink/87987.
The original question remains unclear to me. How are "volunteer positions which work for the Wikimedia Foundation" defined? It seems unlikely we'll ever have completely accurate numbers here, but even ballparking is almost impossible without first establishing a very clear definition of who is and is not considered a volunteer and who is and is not considered working for the Wikimedia Foundation. And there are other important questions such as whether we're counting people or positions (e.g., there is overlap between sysops and OTRS responders).
