So we're speaking about potential need to incorporation and potential trademark agreements.
But this isn't a bureaucratic road. Okay...
It specifically says "may be incorporated" not "must be incorporated". MediaWiki groups may allow that kind of formalization, but I don't see any evidence it is required.
It is not required. This is another example of possibilities for growth that MediaWiki Groups have. If one day MediaWiki Group Bug Squad has a chance to become a non-profit and hire 20 people they have a framework to do it. If they just want to keep being a team of volunteers circulating around a wiki page and a mailing list they can also do it. :)
