I don't see how endorsement leads to publisher statute. One of the missions of the foundation and of the local chapters is to help users from Wikimedia projects to develop and create free content. Taking advantage of Wikimedia / Wikipedia popularity to get accreditations that will allow users to create free content doesn't mean this content will be published on Wikimedia websites, nor it will be published on Wikimedia websites on behalf of Wikimedia.
