You may find contact information of the individuals in the commit logs. Guidelines for maintainers:
$ zig zen
* Communicate intent precisely.
* Edge cases matter.
* Favor reading code over writing code.
* Only one obvious way to do things.
* Runtime crashes are better than bugs.
* Compile errors are better than runtime crashes.
* Incremental improvements.
* Avoid local maximums.
* Reduce the amount one must remember.
* Focus on code rather than style.
* Resource allocation may fail; resource deallocation must succeed.
* Memory is a resource.
* Together we serve the users.
On a more practical note:
- Maintainers can merge others' pull requests following their best judgement.
They may or may not ask for feedback from other maintainers. Follow the Zen
of Zig.
- Releases are cut by Uber employees, because they can test the
version-to-be-released with our [Go Monorepo][go-monorepo]. If you use
`hermetic_cc_toolchain` in any serious capacity, we encourage you to make
yourself known, so we can work together to validate it before cutting the
release.
