Honest question because I have no idea what the truth of the matter is: who even is WordPress.org?

According to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41692300, Matt Mullenweg said at some point in that long interview from a couple of days ago that he was operating WordPress.org personally, rather than the WordPress Foundation as I think people would typically assume.

Here it is straight from the horse’s mouth:

> > Do you really individually own http://WordPress.org?

> > Not Automattic? Not a different LLC or something? No employees? No board of directors?

> > Just you?

> Just me.
