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.
