Given that: MWStake is on track to manage future MediaWiki releases for the WMF

This has not been decided yet, we should not add MWStake logos yet (not sure if we should if such a decision is made later, but definitely not before a decision)

LogoFunctions is about an extension unrelated to the request

I'm opposed to this. While i sympathize with MWStake wanting to increase its reach, MW should not be used for what is essentially advertising.

There are plenty of organizations and individuals who work together to create MediaWiki (if you did a count of orgs' patches/reviews, would MWStake be #1? obviously not. I doubt it would be #2 either), I think the appropriate place for this kind of recognition would be in the CREDITS file.

In T307243#7896629:

Only slightly related: There is (incomplete) organizations data about Wikimedia Gerrit on https://wikimedia.biterg.io/app/kibana#/dashboard/Gerrit based on folks listed in the "Submitters" panel. If more organizations should be listed, please file dedicated tasks under wikimedia.biterg.io including usernames. Thanks.

Even if we decide to transition the release of mediawiki to MWStake (and there is a massive "if" there), I would strongly oppose logo addition in the releases, on the ground that basically no contribution in the mw has come from MWStake (https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki/graphs/contributors)

We need to move away from the trope of only considering code commits to core as "contributions". There are plenty of ways to contribute to MediaWiki, whether it's filing and commenting on bugs, providing support on-wiki/IRC/Matrix, writing and updating docs, translating, working on extensions, evangelizing the use of MW over other wiki alternatives, organizing workshops, etc. etc. MWStake definitely contributes to MediaWiki within their own niche of things that they want to. That's cool and welcome and they should be recognized for that! I don't think all of those contributions merits the extra special recognition proposed here (especially when there's an even larger non-profit organization that contributes way more that does not have said recognition) outside of the way we typically credit the people who work on MediaWiki - in the aptly named CREDITS file.
