Refer to the signature Erik used. The rationale that employees when acting
as employees somehow are to be wearing a hat of an unpaid volunteer was
worn out when superprotect was invented.

Thanks,

Incorrect.
Erik's email includes phrases like "We're not pushing an aggressive
schedule on Flow". This clearly means that "we" refers to the
Wikimedia Foundation and excludes unpaid volunteers who hold no
responsibility or authority for the deployment schedule.
Incorrect.
In such a long text, "we" can obviously refer to both "the
Foundation" and
"the community" (both of which Erik is a member of), depending on context.
There would be little point in Erik asking "Do we want discussions to occur
in document mode, or in a structured comment mode?" on a public mailing
list, when he just wants to ask a Foundation-internal question, right?
Pretty obvious, really, unless your goal is to distract from the actual
topic.
