Hi!
It's for Wikimedia operations as well as MediaWiki development. The latter tends to take up much more of the list traffic in practice, though.
Indeed, staff-ization of WMF made more and more of communications internal, for better or worse.

*puts on robe and El Santo mask* the WMF sounds a lot like wrestling org. Or a Linux desktop. http://fmwwrestling.us/WMFArmyNews2007.html
Is MediaWiki appropiate for these uses? Sounds like something that ask for very structure organization, and easy to use interface. MediaWiki can be lots of things, but don't look like a XML Database. (The semantic web has been namedroped here. But, anyway...)
You guys sould implemente sudo in MediaWiki, so the command "sudo make me a sandwitch" works with mediawiki :-) (I know mediawiki has not been designed for different level access users).
Maybe Wikipedia sould use a different font for the text added on the last revision of a page, like... font-family: script. Obviusly, wikis are handwritting, not typewritting. Wikis are not books, are notes on a book. You *no* need a canvas renderer for mediawiki pages.
