Stating it often doesn't make it true.  The WMF is quite clearly a
publisher.  It even has admitted as much when it exercised the GFDL
clause purporting to allow "any World Wide Web server that publishes
copyrightable works and also provides prominent facilities for anybody
to edit those works" to "republish" Wikipedia (et. al.) under
CC-BY-SA.  Anyone who says the WMF is not a publisher is just plain
wrong.

So state it as much as you want.  The WMF is a publisher.  Under
Section 230 of the CDA it most likely won't be treated as a publisher,
but that doesn't mean it isn't a publisher.
