A secondary issue is that too much wiki dev is done by WMF/WMFDE employees (IMO); I don't think the current percentages lead to an overall healthy open source community.

I find this argument strange, as it imply there is some kind of magical difference between contributions from an employee and a community member. There are no such difference. Both the employee and the community member should take responsibility for the code base, but that does not imply they should take the same actions on that code base.
