WordPress Core
If you’d like to contribute directly to WordPress Core, you should start by forking the WordPress Development Repository. Then, make your changes in your own branchbranchA directory in Subversion. WordPress uses branches to store the latest development code for each major release (3.9, 4.0, etc.). Branches are then updated with code for any minor releases of that branch. Sometimes, a major version of WordPress and its minor versions are collectively referred to as a "branch", such as "the 4.0 branch".. Once ready, submit a pull request referencing the related ticketticketCreated for both bug reports and feature development on the bug tracker. number.

It may also be referred to as a diff. A patch can be applied to a codebase for testing. to the corresponding ticket.
To contribute to the Gutenberg Editor, you don’t necessarily need Docker. Simply fork the Gutenberg repository, make your changes in a new branch, and submit a pull request. The only requirement is a recent version of Node.js.

As a follow-up to this post, he asked the following to be discussed:
After a couple of weeks, I’m almost done on reviewing the Workflow Keywords sequence. I only need some extra info in the committing part as is the part I’m less knowledgeable, so I would need some committers to help me out on the review
[I] need committers to help with the revision of the Workflow Keywords (specially the committercommitterA developer with commit access.

Additionally, the project usually has a few guest or component committers - a developer receiving commit access, generally for a single release cycle (sometimes renewed) and/or for a specific component. and backportbackportA port is when code from one branch (or trunk) is merged into another branch or trunk. Some changes in WordPress point releases are the result of backporting code from trunk to the release branch. part where I have more doubts). First I’m willing to publish an article explaining the new ideas with the first revision of the revised diagram and it could serve as an attention call for anyone willing to make an opinion or add anything else before the final proposal.
Some discussion happened in the Core Slack channel about this post/proposal.
To sum-up, some committers pointed out that:
@jorbin: This post seems to make the assumption that just because there is a patchpatchA special text file that describes changes to code, by identifying the files and lines which are added, removed, and altered. It may also be referred to as a diff. A patch can be applied to a codebase for testing. and the patch has no flaws, that it should be committed, but if something should be committed isn’t just a question of if there is a patch ready, it’s also things such as: Does this fit within the current priorities? Is this going to cause issues with future backwards compatibility? Are there alternative solutions that haven’t been considered that should be? How risky is this to commit? What other teams would be affected by this change? Have they been given a chance to chime in?
@desrosj: The crux of the post seems to suggest we can’t create a report for tickets that need a code review with the current keywords. Wouldn’t a report that shows tickets with has-testing and has-patch but does not have commit accomplish the same thing?
@sirlouen pointed out that the post is not completely assuming that every patch perfectly reviewed must be committed, but every patch perfectly reviewed should be considered by committers with more priority than patches from scratch.
The discussion then switched to patches that are reviewed and tested, and waiting for a committer review and commit:
@jorbin: Bringing those tickets up during 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. scrubs can be a great way to get attention on them, [but] just because it fits [someone’s] definition of 100% baked doesn’t mean that a committer is going to agree.
@audrasjb: The best way to help these tickets is to ask to move them into the current milestone.
@jorbin: There are about 75 bug gardeners who can modify milestones in addition to all of the committers. In addition, there is nothing that would prevent at the end of the bug scrub a post along the lines of: “After this scrub, we think that the following tickets should be included in 6.8.2 and the following ones in 6.9”. Once someone has demonstrated enough good judgement, they will likely be given bug gardener status so that they can do it themselves.
@justlevine wanted to bring attention to ticketticketCreated for both bug reports and feature development on the bug tracker.#61175: “Beyond the usual i could use a bit of help from people better skilled at WP CI/CD (PHPStan passes locally, but isn’t discovering certain symbols when run on CI)”.

Forthcoming releases 🚀
WordPress 6.8.2 and beyond
The Core Team is putting together a squad for future minor releases.
In preparation for the WordCamp Europe 2025 Contributor Day, @benjamin_zekavica called for important Core 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. tickets to be submitted for planning.
@realloc will lead the MultisitemultisiteUsed to describe a WordPress installation with a network of multiple blogs, grouped by sites. This installation type has shared users tables, and creates separate database tables for each blog (wp_posts becomes wp_0_posts). See also network, blog, site table and is working with maintainers to identify good first bugs.
Core committers are encouraged to actively participate and make at least one commit — with @mamaduka offering remote support.
Where do bugs go if they are introduced in a point releaseMinor ReleaseA set of releases or versions having the same minor version number may be collectively referred to as .x , for example version 5.2.x to refer to versions 5.2, 5.2.1, 5.2.3, and all other versions in the 5.2 (five dot two) branch of that software. Minor Releases often make improvements to existing features and functionality.?
There was a discussion about how to handle bugs found during a point release. Usually, these bugs should be included in the next point release, especially if there is a patchpatchA special text file that describes changes to code, by identifying the files and lines which are added, removed, and altered. It may also be referred to as a diff. A patch can be applied to a codebase for testing. or if it is a regressionregressionA software bug that breaks or degrades something that previously worked. Regressions are often treated as critical bugs or blockers. Recent regressions may be given higher priorities. A "3.6 regression" would be a bug in 3.6 that worked as intended in 3.5..
Whether a fix is backported depends on factors such as the bug’s age, severityseverityThe seriousness of the ticket in the eyes of the reporter. Generally, severity is a judgment of how bad a bug is, while priority is its relationship to other bugs., and the risk of the fix. Since clear guidelines are lacking, decisions are made case by case by release leads. More documentation on this process was recommended.
