I know Wordpress.org sends a header called X-Hacker or something, telling people who see the header to look at their jobs page and tell them about the header.

It's not that hard to check and it seems they don't. But they have this other X-nc header: $ curl -I wordpress.org HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: nginx Date: Fri, 07 Dec 2012 12:15:43 GMT Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Connection: close Vary: Accept-Encoding X-nc: HIT luv 139

Sorry, it was automattic.com, dangrossman posted the headers.
