This is the official blog for the core development team of the WordPress open source project. Follow our progress with weekly meeting agendas, project schedules, and the occasional code debate.
Another community member has impressed us all with his contributions, patience, thoughtfulness, and poetic code: please join me in welcoming Nacin to the commit group.
Congrats nacin, I’d just like to say that working with you over the past while has shown me that you’re well deserving of access.
Nacin has always taken any advice related to patches into consideration, and consistently seems to come out on top with clean patches with minimal issue.
Congrats, Now go break something

I’ve worked with Nacin quite a bit in the last few weeks and feel the same Congrats!
The sidebar lists lead developers, not commit access. They used to be one and the same, but the recent addition of more people with commit privs is meant to change that conflation. When we redesign wordpress.org later this year (hopefully starting soonish), I’d like to change the way that info is displayed so we can call out a number of different heavy contributor types (commit privs, forum mods, etc).
Thats pretty much what i assumed Jane, That since there was no real “correct location” for us, that we werent listed anywhere yet. In the redesign, It’d probably be worth to do a biographical page for the lead developers, and possibly others to give a more personal touch to who is behind it.
@DD32: In meantime, Matt added you guys under Contributing Developers. Doesn’t differentiate commit access, but we can get there in redesign. I’m thinking we can start working on that toward the end of March.
Start submitting patches as well as testing other people’s patches and reporting on them on Trac. Prove your skill, work well with others and build the trust of the core team. There are only a couple of committers out of hundreds of contributing developers…it’s basically a recognition of one’s contribution and commitment to the best interests of the WordPress open source project.
Some of the project’s best contributors don’t have commit access. As Jane said, don’t think that just because you don’t have commit access doesn’t mean you can’t contribute.
