How about a test period where we unlock the footer templates temporarily to see if the community can take care of them independently and responsibly? If that goes well, we can leave the footers open for the participating communities to maintain on their own. If not, we may have to mass-undo changes and protect them again, but it does indeed seem worth a shot. I'm proposing this experiment on the talk page you linked as well.
