Hi there! Could I get the wordcampWordCamp WordCamps are casual, locally-organized
conferences covering everything related to WordPress. They're one of the places 
where the WordPress community comes together to teach one another what they’ve learned
throughout the year and share the joy. [Learn more](https://central.wordcamp.org/about/).

with [requests like this one](https://github.com/WordPress/wordcamp.org/issues/1714#issuecomment-4961080488)?
It would be great if that would include commit access to wordcamp SVNSVN Apache

# 󠀁[Build server not removing files from core.svn.wordpress.org when it should](https://make.wordpress.org/systems/2026/07/13/build-server-not-removing-files-from-core-svn-wordpress-org-when-it-should/)󠁿

There have been several recent cases where the build server has not removed files
from the core.svn.wordpress.orgWordPress.org The 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/](https://wordpress.org/)
repository. This is resulting in files persisting and being included in WordPress
releases when they should not be.

For the 7.0 release, three files related to real-time collaboration have been removed
in develop.svn.wordpress.org but not core.svn.wordpress.org (see [#65325](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/65325)).

During the 7.1 cycle, there are a few more instances of this documented in [#65565](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/65565).
These files are not yet meant to be included in a final release of WordPress, but
were included in the output of the build script until the [upstream fix in the Gutenberg repository](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/76715)
was merged into `wordpress-develop` in [[62584]](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/62584).
It’s likely the same problem will occur once [#65489](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/65489)
is fixed as well.

The issue is occurring both for files previously subject to version control that
were explicitly deleted in SVNSVN Apache Subversion (often abbreviated SVN, after
its command name svn) is a software versioning and revision control system. Software
developers use Subversion to maintain current and historical versions of files such

apache.org/. (the 7.0 files and `wp-includes/blocks/navigation-link/shared/build-
css-font-sizes.php` during the 7.1 cycle), and those that were never versioned and
generated as output from the build script (all of the other files listed in [#65565](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/65565)).

During 7.0, this was other files being included unexpectedly were removed after 
[[64393]](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/64393). There is still similar
logic in place, but it’s not clear why the same is not happening now. When running`
npm run build` locally with outdated files in `build`, all files are removed as 
expected. It seems there may possibly be an issue where files that are “missing”
from an SVN standpoint are not deleted from version control.

Could someone please look into this so it can be addressed prior to the 7.1 RC1 
release scheduled for August 5th?

# 󠀁[Move the akirk/learn-app repo to the WordPress Github org](https://make.wordpress.org/systems/2026/07/09/move-the-akirk-learn-app-repo-to-the-wordpress-github-org/)󠁿

Hi,

I would like to move the repo https://github.com/akirk/learn-app/ to https://github.
com/WordPress/learn-app. This is an “app style” WordPress plugin that we’ll want
WP Credit students to use on https://my.wordpress.net/ for personal notes on their
learn.wordpress.org course and more in the future.

Moving a repo typically involved transferring the repo to someone who has the necessary
permissions on github.com/WordPress, so please tell me who to transfer it to who
can then make the move. Thanks!
