I was thinking of who I appreciated and thought I would mention MZ, too.
I do, of course, appreciate every one else who has been mentioned, but I think it is important to mention MZ.
Although he is often seen as an irritant, the Foundation needs a community member like MZ who sticks around (so he is familiar to the people working in the Foundation) and who consistently and loudly reminds the Foundation how they could better serve the community.
MZ plays an important part: In an organisation like the WMF, groupthink can be a problem. MZ points out the problems that people would rather ignore or gloss over.
