This is not correct - extensions by volunteers are deployed. To cite
just two notable examples, Cite and CategoryTree. AFAIK, neither Ævar
nor Daniel are or were paid by the WMF; Daniel works at WM-DE, but
that's a separate organization.

That said, better documentation about the Foundation's process for
deciding what is deployed would be quite useful.
