Ownership transfers

Every change of the author_profile field observed across 77,366 directory plugins. The wordpress.org account behind each plugin, compared day to day.

A transfer is not a finding. Most are ordinary: developers sell, agencies consolidate, personal accounts hand off to the company the work was done for. What follows is a record of what changed and when. Nothing about anyone’s intent.

Ownership changes, removals and returns are also published as a feed: pluginspedia.com/closed/feed.xml (1,000+ installs, last 7 days) and feed-all.xml (every plugin, last 30).
