I don't see how endorsement leads to publisher statute. One of the missions
of the foundation and of the local chapters is to help users from Wikimedia
projects to develop and create free content. Taking advantage of Wikimedia /
Wikipedia popularity to get accreditations that will allow users to create
free content doesn't mean this content will be published on Wikimedia
websites, nor it will be published on Wikimedia websites on behalf of
Wikimedia.
