This question here goes straight to the heart of things.
WP.org is a 501(c)3 organization. Ostensibly, it has absolutely nothing to do with Automattic. Reality... appears to be somewhat different.
If there were compensation due, it would not be to Automattic.
WP.org has a board of directors, not a dictator. Ostensibly, Matt is the Chairman. Why would he be due compensation?
The fact that such questions even arise shows just how ... murky ... Matt/WP.org/WP.com/Automattic's interactions are.
