Comment (by joyously):

 > Lots of wordpress plugins are open source,

 I'm saying ALL of them are.

 > WordPress forums simply aren’t built with an open source issue tracker
 in mind.

 Nope. It's a release repository, not development. The forums are about
 community help, not testing and fixing plugin code.

 > any wordpress theme or plugin that is open sourced to have a dedicated
 field to link to their repo.

 They are ALL open source. It is a minority of users that would have a
 public repo, and a minority of WordPress users that would want to see
 another repo of the code that is already in this repo.

 The WP repo is not there for authors to be seen. It's a place to store
 some code so other users can use it.

 Yeah, what Mika said.
