I was told by a WMF non-management employee that they have little discretion about which projects they're working on, and that the decisions about priorities come top-down. Hence my interest in engaging with the quarterly planning processes and the people managing those processes to see if there's a way to get community input into the teams' quarterly goals.
Once the quarterly "goals" are decided, there is a lot of push to actually meet the deadlines that were set and actually work on what the team committed to working on, but non-management people should be able to be heard during planning, at least.
(This is assuming you want something big done, not a weekend project.)
The current quarter is just ending today… so now is probably a good time to run around and poke people. :)
