This is a non-exhaustive list of people who regularly hack on SpiderMonkey: TraceMonkey, JägerMonkey, 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 list below, and to make corrections and updates to it as needed.
