Hi Fae,
A few points:
* Thank you for trying to get and maintain a public list of WMF accounts with special permissions. I think that this is helpful for the community to know. I also think that WMF should actively maintain the list of WMF accounts with special permissions, and the reasons for granting those permissions, on Meta.
* Based on what I currently know, I disagree with WMF's choice to site-ban individuals instead of leaving that decision to the community, particularly when the evidence is not public. It seems to me that this practice is incompatible with transparency, due process, and community governance of Wikimedia content sites (which notably excludes the Foundation wiki).
* I understand that you are cautious about taking actions that you feel put you at risk of being banned by WMF, particularly given WMF's current practices. At the same time, while I have views that differ from James Alexander's on some points (sometimes strongly so), there's an important distinction between good-faith disagreements and bad-faith actions. I would guess that if anyone in SuSa wanted you banned for any reason and was willing to act in bad faith or vindictively, then they would have already found a justification and made a ban. Since you are still here, I tend to think that people in SuSa are trying to do their jobs properly. I can be persuaded that there is a problem, but at this point my impression that an allegation that anyone at SuSa is acting in bad faith isn't supported by the evidence. If you have evidence to the contrary, I'm willing to hear you out (preferably not in this thread with the topic "WMF advanced permissions for employees"), but I'm going to assume good faith of everyone in SuSa unless I become aware of persuasive evidence to the contrary.
Thanks again for your work on bringing transparency to the permissions of WMF staff.
