Just a way more to contact flow (and others too) development (in addition to what Dan
Garry wrote, which i can totally underline) is to go into IRC channel(s) [1]. Many
developers are online in IRC, so you can ask, talk and discuss with them. Just as a note.

I think this is where part of the problem lies. Will discussion on
whether or not to deploy it to a local wiki still be possible when the
WMF decides it is ready for wider deployment, with a possible no for an answer?
I'm not in the senior management, so I don't have an answer to that question.
What I can tell you, as a person who is in charge of the day-to-day decisions about what
goes into the software the WMF produces, is that the best time to make sure the software
meets your needs is not at the step where it's being deployed, but as the step where
it's being developed!
So, to make Flow meet your needs, get involved! Test the latest version of Flow
(
https://ee-flow.wmflabs.org). File bugs (
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org). Take a look at
the Flow team's Trello board (
https://trello.com/b/lOh4XCy7/flow-sprint-f). Send the
product manager of Flow an email (dhorn(a)wikimedia.org). Maybe even ask to have a hangout
with him to discuss your concerns. Speaking from experience, this kind of feedback is one
of the highest priority things a product manager can do. And this kind of contact shapes
decisions, and shapes priorities.
This is the best way to be involved: early, and often.
