Maintainers

expressjs/express is maintained by an OpenJS Foundation Technical Committee (TC) plus a community Triagers team. There is no CODEOWNERS file in the repository, so subsystem ownership in the table below is derived from Readme.md (governance roles) and from git log / git blame against master (recent contributors per file).

For governance details, see expressjs/discussions/docs/GOVERNANCE.md.
