Just want to point out, that apparently WordPress.org is not owned by the foundation but rather Matt himself, which many people are confused about. It should probably not be used as a stand-in way to refer to the foundation.
Matt Mullenweg Apparently Personally Owns the Website
The author of the post quoted in the previous section seems to treat it as a given the Matt Mullenweg owns the WordPress website. The closest we have found to confirmation of that is screenshots apparently from a WordPress Slack were he apparently wrote this:
W.org belongs to me, it’s not part of the foundation or any trust, I run it in an open way that allows lots of folks to participate but they don’t own it.
And this:
I have direct and root access to the account (and everything on w.org) because I started it.
