To be honest, I don't like using "We" in that manner, unless the
Wikimedia technical community (For various definitions of that rather
ambiguous terms) has discussed the issue and come to agreement.

The "We" is clearly a group of people who met up at Wikimania and
thought this would be a good idea. Which is fine, as that's usually
how most good ideas start. But there's a large difference between the
Wikimedia community proposing something to ? vs a subset of the
community proposing the idea to the whole of the community.
