WordPress development is led by Ryan Boren and Matt Mullenweg. Mullenweg and Mike Little were co-founders of the project.
The contributing developers include:
* Dougal Campbell
* Mark Jaquith

Though developed much by the community surrounding it, WordPress is closely associated with Automattic, where some of WordPress’s main contributing developers are employees.[14]
WordPress is also in part developed by its community, among which are the WP testers, a group of people that volunteer time and effort to testing each release. They have early access to nightly builds, Beta versions and Release Candidates. Upgrading to these versions, they can find and report errors to a special mailing list, or the project’s Trac tool.
