Meet the Release Management team!

The Release Management team ensures that we ship the best possible software to our end users.

Release Managers shepherd our beta and final releases, including making decisions on releases, uplift and crashes.

You can contact our team members via one of the communication channels listed on our home page.

Mozilla is an open source project and as such we work with many volunteers across the globe that help us with their technical or regional specific expertise.
A special shout-out to Philipp Madersbacher (:philipp) for his crash triage help and his work on identifying regressions reported by our end-users before and after we ship Firefox.
