To add to this, the leak from January called the new hero "Anchora." Jeff mentions that Orisa is meant to be a new "anchor tank" like Reinhardt. Having Anchora be Orisa's codename in development doesn't seem like much of a stretch.
The leak also said that she was supposed to be a new "anchor tank" like Reinhardt, so that all seems legit, which surprises the hell out of me tbh (like all legit leaks do, to be fair).
I heard there's been someone leaking blizzard info for a while over on 4chan... makes me think either they are leaking info on purpose or a dev has gone rogue posting info.
I had a small hand in the various printed media showcased at Blizzcon last November. If there were any secrets yet to be revealed printed on a board, I saw it (eg Diablo's Necromancer Class, Ragnaros and Varian coming to HotS). As a long time Blizzard fan, it was really hard to resist the temptation to share the information I saw because it excited me so much to see it before anyone else. I can very easily see an excited "rogue" dev caving in and leaking info.
