I think there is no need to make any walls between community and wmf. Main difference between volunteers and wmf employees is that they are paid for they work. I see no reason why someone should highlight that fact by using wmf e-mail or (WMF) in SUL (it appears as "showing off" to me more than anything useful) so it seems quite ok to me that they are using personal e-mails and don't try to be more different from volunteers.

Hi, is there a policy / recommendation about Wikimedia employees using wikimedia.org addesses when contributing code and participating in community activities as part of their paid work? Or has this topic been discussed in the past?
I use a personal email dedicated to Wikimedia stuff, sounds to me I can talk about anything this way without embarrassing the Wikimedia Foundation for which I am a contractor.
The wikimedia.org I mostly use it for internal stuff and to write to WMF employees and contractors.
