Comment (by DavidAnderson):

 So, if I follow the last few contributions correctly, it seems that people
 are saying that...

 1) nobody is quite sure who, in a legal sense (when it comes down to
 obligations to obey specific and particular laws), wordpress.org/The WP
 Foundation ultimately is (Who is their legal officer? How can you ask them
 questions and get official answers that can be shared publicly and acted
 upon?), and

 2) neither does anybody really know how "they" intend to fulfil their GDPR
 legal obligations (or not, if they prefer) regarding data that WP self-
 install sends to their servers; and

 3) the suggestion is that perhaps people could send in patches so that
 other people with commit access can review them - but their decisions to
 commit them, or not , may or may not agree with anybody "higher up"'s
 policies, supposing that such policies exist, or that anybody knows what
 they are, or may just be their own private views, or may be the result of
 throwing dice - or something else? - and these patches should all be in
 order to minimise the legal risks of we-are-not-really-sure who?

 Well, life is certainly not dull today, anyway.
