I would think there would be some developers contributing code to
MediaWiki who are not also editors. Given the quasi-independence of
MediaWiki development from everything else under the Wikimedia
umbrella, would there still be enough connection to the Foundation's
operations to render it desirable that they be enfranchised? (I would
think so.)
