Maintainers

This page maps the major subsystems of the Datadog Agent to the people who actively work in them. Two data sources:

• .github/CODEOWNERS — the official ownership map. Teams listed here are auto-assigned as reviewers on PRs.
• git log — the last 90 days (or longer) of activity, filtered to exclude bot accounts.

The CODEOWNERS file is large (over a thousand lines) and the ground truth for assignment. This page summarizes the ownership picture at the subsystem level.

The "Recent contributors" column lists first names or shortened identifiers based on the last 90+ days of commits per subsystem, excluding bot accounts. It is best read as "who to ask first," not "who exclusively owns this."

How to find owners for a specific path

The CODEOWNERS file is matched bottom-to-top, so the most specific rule wins. To check who owns a given path:

# Replace <path> with a file or directory.
grep -E "^/?<path>" .github/CODEOWNERS

Or, more robustly, use GitHub's "Show file ownership" UI on the PR view.

Slack channels

The repository's CODEOWNERS file pairs every team with a Slack channel in tasks/libs/pipeline_notifications.py. When opening a PR or filing an issue you can find the right channel there.

A note on bot accounts

The "Recent contributors" data excludes any committer whose name matches [bot], renovate, or dependabot. About 7–8% of recent commits come from bots and they shouldn't be on a contact list.

Co-authored-by: trailers attributing AI assistants (Claude, etc.) are also excluded — those are credit lines, not points of contact.

Updating this page

The data on this page is denormalized snapshot data and will go stale. The two sources of truth are:

1. .github/CODEOWNERS — for official assignment.
2. git log origin/main -- <path> — for actual recent activity.

If you find this page out of date, update it (and feel free to also update the per-page "Active contributors" bylines).
