Found a bugbugA bug is an error or unexpected result. Performance improvements, code optimization, and are considered enhancements, not defects. After feature freeze, only bugs are dealt with, with regressions (adverse changes from the previous version) being the highest priority.?Create a ticket in the bug tracker.
In recent releases, the process of collecting props for non-WordPress.orgWordPress.orgThe community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/ contributions (namely GutenbergGutenbergThe Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress. The editor improves the process and experience of creating new content, making writing rich content much simpler. It uses ‘blocks’ to add richness rather than shortcodes, custom HTML etc. https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/) has been highly manual and error prone, occasionally resulting in contributors not receiving proper credit. Connecting your WordPress.org and GitHubGitHubGitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged be the repository owner. https://github.com/ accounts will allow automatic tooling to be built which reduces the burden on release teams to maintain a credit list.
When access is revoked for the “WordPress.org Profiles” application for a GitHub account, this is respected and the WordPress.org and GitHub profiles are unlinked. However, GitHub also expires application connections automatically that have not been used in over a year.
Because WordPress.org respects all access changes for this application, it has resulted in some profiles becoming unlinked. If you had previously connected your accounts, please check that your connection is still valid.
To check, visit your WordPress.org profile (https://profiles.wordpress.org/me/) and verify that your GitHub account is still listed. If you do not see a GitHub account listed, your connection has expired, been revoked, or one was never made.
Going forward, WordPress.org will now check that linked profiles are still up to date, haven’t been deleted, or suspended by GitHub more regularly regularly, and as a result the application connection will not go stale.
Props to @dd32 for investigating and fixing the issue, @cbringmann for proofreading.
