Sure. Let's not make assumptions at all then: what makes someone think
that calendar is amenable to WMF-mandated development? Already one year
ago, I proposed that Phacility be hired to upstream our issues (and
triage them upstream).

The reason is that so far I'm not aware of a single person in Wikimedia
being able to talk with upstream (as opposed to talking past each
other). https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/6/query/all/
seems to prove none exists, as the "Solved upstream" column lists a
whopping 2 issues out of 500+ upstream issues.
Phacility could file the reports upstream in the way they prefer and
optionally put a price tag on each request, without continuing to waste
our reporters' time.
