WordPress.org is owned and controlled personally by Matt Mullenweg.
What are the pros and cons of one person having control of this essential repository containing plugins and themes?
We’ve seen some developers and companies start to host plugins on their own repository.
Users can’t tell from the WordPress dashboard if a plugin has been abandoned or not updated in a while.
Is this going to cause security issues? How can the community tell what is the “source of truth” for plugins?
Are there any alternatives?
