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.)

Hackers emeriti
These people once regularly hacked on the JavaScript engine but don't do so regularly any more. Reviewers listed here may or may not be willing to review patches. If they aren't, they'll say so when review is requested of them and perhaps forward it to a better person.

| Brian Crowder | crowderbt@ | |
