This article is in parts, or in its entirety, outdated. Hence, the information presented on this page may be incorrect, and should be treated with due caution. Visit SpiderMonkey.dev for more up to date information.

This is a non-exhaustive list of people who regularly hack on SpiderMonkey: Rooting, Baseline, Frontend, and all projects (named and unnamed) and technical areas beneath it.

If you regularly work on the JavaScript engine, feel free to add yourself to the lists below, and to make corrections and updates to it as needed.

Regular JavaScript engine hackers

These people regularly hack on the JavaScript engine. If you're looking for someone who knows a particular concept well, to ask questions about it, clarify concepts, &c., this is a good place to look. (And if you hack regularly on the JavaScript engine, feel free to add yourself and mention whatever areas you're comfortable in.)

(NB: Email addresses aren't listed for spam-prevention purposes. To find out an email address, type the listed Bugzilla identifier in the CC box on bmo and look at the autocompletion.)

(Please keep this list in alphabetical order by last name.)
