Glad to see WP.org is finally getting serious about legalities. The next step should be developing a full scale TOS and Privacy Policy, not only for users and contributors, but for their own team, and then consider ditching some of these other sub-section policies/guidelines. Currently the WordPress Foundation is poorly protected (and neither are plugin authors, etc) from things like liability, slander, etc.

Compare this with e.g. GitHub:

https://help.github.com/articles/github-terms-of-service/

https://help.github.com/articles/github-privacy-statement/

Staff at WP.org are arguably trying hard considering the lack of tools at their disposal, but interpretation of these various policies continues to be rather case-by-case, and is often based on personal whims rather than a sound legal (etc) framework.
