I'm not seeing anything about a core dev sitting on a special fork in that article, and I was under the impression that it's _other_ companies which specialize in porting to consoles that have their own maintained version of Godot, namely Lone Wolf Technology and Pineapple Works.

W4's monetization plan would make them having their own well-maintained "special" fork a viable option in the first place, as Unity and Unreal already do.
