>Wordpress.org is IIRC run by Automattic, which receives payments from the UK so there is even a way to enforce fines.

No. WordPress.org is owned and operated by a private American citizen who receives no payments.

Automattic is a separate for-profit organization which does fall under GDPR. WordPress foundation would also fall under GDPR. WordPress.org does not.

Yea, we were all pretty surprised to hear that WordPress.org is a privately owned and operated site.
