Indeed.  Unfortunately, the various groups within the community that might
stand to lose authority/influence/etc. if such institutions were created
will adamantly oppose having them, for fairly obvious reasons.  I don't
foresee anything significant developing in this area -- at least on en.wiki,
and likely on the other projects of a comparable size -- without some level
of WMF participation.
