> Matt seems to treat what happens on WordPress.org to be within his personal domain, while those who contribute generally assume that their contributions are within the WordPress Foundation’s scope

That seems to be the crux of the issue. At least with respect to the now what question.

Thinking more and more this is going to require a substantial rethink of the entire thing well beyond a fork. Especially if Matt sticks to his guns

We thought there were 2 entities: WordPress.com & WordPress.org , but turns out those 2 are basically the same, but there is still a 3rd one WordPress Foundation (that is not WordPress.org apparently)

Then there's Audrey Capital LLC, WordPress Community Services (which is a B corp owned by the foundation), an array of Automattic subsidiaries around the world.
