Just a way more to contact flow (and others too) development (in addition to 
what Dan Garry wrote, which i can totally underline) is to go into IRC 
channel(s) [1]. Many developers are online in IRC, so you can ask, talk and 
discuss with them. Just as a note.

I'm not in the senior management, so I don't have an answer to that question.

What I can tell you, as a person who is in charge of the day-to-day decisions 
about what goes into the software the WMF produces, is that the best time to 
make sure the software meets your needs is not at the step where it's being 
deployed, but as the step where it's being developed!

So, to make Flow meet your needs, get involved! Test the latest version of Flow 
(https://ee-flow.wmflabs.org). File bugs ( https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org). 
Take a look at the Flow team's Trello board 
(https://trello.com/b/lOh4XCy7/flow-sprint-f). Send the product manager of Flow 
an email ([email protected]). Maybe even ask to have a hangout with him to 
discuss your concerns. Speaking from experience, this kind of feedback is one 
of the highest priority things a product manager can do. And this kind of 
contact shapes decisions, and shapes priorities.

This is the best way to be involved: early, and often.

Dan
