Reliable sources claim that Matt Mullenweg is being sacked from Automattic.

WordPress.org being Matt's "personal website", running on the company's infrastructure and wp-admin on self hosted sites depending on that domain name being reachable to work at all, this could have far reaching consequences.

I expect there's going to be more of who-owns-what in the coming days.

This is what "forced to resign" usually looks like on paper.

Further reports suggest that Mary Hubbard has announced that she is staying as the "executive director of WordPress" (which is in administrative sense MMs personal website) and that MM is still leading the WordPress project.
