Meet WordPress 6.7 Release Squad & Default Theme
Last week, the lineup for the eighteen-member release squad and the default theme for WordPress 6.7 were revealed. This will be the third and final WordPress release of the year.
WordPress 6.7 Release Squadn
As usual, Matt Mullenweg leads the release, with David Baumwald serving as the Release Coordinator. The Core Tech Leads are Peter Wilson (sponsored by 10up) and Kira Schroder (sponsored by GoDaddy). The squad also includes:
- Editor Tech Leads: Robert Anderson, Kai Hao (Both from Automattic)
- Core Triage Leads: Ahmed Kabir Chaion, (Zone7) Stoyan Georgiev (SiteGround)
- Editor Triage Leads: Nick Diego (Automattic), Damon Cook (WP Engine)
- Documentation Leads: Fabian Kägy (10up), Mumtahina Faguni (WPDeveloper)
- Test Lead: Ankit K. Gupta (10up)
- Design Lead: Joen Asmussen (Automattic)
- Performance Lead: Mukesh Panchal (10up)
- Default Theme Design Lead: Beatriz Fialho (Automattic)
- Default Theme Development Leads: Carolina Nymark (Yoast), Juan Aldasoro
Automattic is sponsoring five squad members (excluding Matt), with 10up following closely behind with four members.
Automattic-sponsored Core contributor Héctor Prieto shared that the team is experimenting with combining the Marcomms and Release Coordination roles but may revert this change during the process, depending upon the feedback.
He continued: “While announcing the whole release squad is ideal, at the end of the day, it involves a lot of async coordination that delays the announcement. Feedback received indicates this is particularly constraining for the Default Theme Role, for which the leads had to start the work before this announcement to avoid getting caught by the release deadlines.”
