If there are such people solely in the community (i.e.
not Foundation legal advisors), I do not know any of
them.  If you mean people who do act as Foudation
legal advisors simply putting on the "community member
hat", I have not heard of them responding to requests
recently.  No one who is active at Wikisource has
legal expertise of any sort as far as I am aware, so
there is nothing we could self-organize.  I am
honestly not interested in broad policy advice,
however there is a definate need for help on specific
legal interpretations.
