It is insane how Matt once again seem totally unable to understand the difference between Autoamattic and the WordPress Foudnation.

The WordPress Foundation doesn't own WordPress.org. As far as I can tell it basically only owns the WordPress trademark, which it immediately turned around and gave away to Automattic in an exclusive license for unclear consideration.

WordPress.org, and therefore the entire plugin repository, is owned by just Matt and maintained by a division within Automattic. The .org-ness of it was just a smokescreen all along.
