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. :)
