In order for this to work, would the WMF teams do / not do anything specific - or would this process be completely autonomous?
We're still working on coordinating security releases, but other than that, we're assuming that WMF projects will continue to regularly test and deploy MediaWiki.
As long as that happens, I don't see any reason why the policy I outlined shouldn't continue to work.
That said, I don't want the tarball process to rely *only* on me. It would be better to have a group of volunteers who can coordinate this. If you are interested in helping, I've proposed a Release management group: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Groups/Proposals/Release_management
