That nobody bothered to keep the mediawiki page up to date as compared to other WMF projects is...well, housekeeping. That gerrit.wikimedia.org doesn't seem to have any of the standard footnote links (including the privacy policy, which is perhaps a more significant oversight)...is that because of the interface? One would think a custom skin could be developed that would permit inclusion of such links. Part of the issue faced by developers is the fact that there is really no viable method by which to "label" their contributions as "paid". Doesn't mean the TOU doesn't apply.
