Maintainers

The Node.js project uses GitHub teams (under the nodejs/ organization) as the unit of code ownership. The .github/CODEOWNERS file maps directories to teams; the teams themselves are listed in README.md under "Current project team members".

This page is a courtesy index — when something breaks in a subsystem, this is the team to ping.

The full mapping (which file globs map to which team) is in .github/CODEOWNERS. CODEOWNERS in this repo is informational — it courtesy-pings teams; it does not enforce review approvals. Approval rules are in doc/contributing/collaborator-guide.md § "Code reviews".

Recently active contributors

Top contributors over the last 6 months (excluding bots) by commit count:

• Antoine du Hamel
• Joyee Cheung
• Filip Skokan
• Chengzhong Wu
• Michaël Zasso
• René
• Matteo Collina
• Richard Lau
• Marco Ippolito

The full list of currently-active Collaborators and the TSC roster lives in README.md under "Current project team members". Working-group rosters live in their respective repositories under https://github.com/nodejs/<wg-name>.

Pinging the right team

• Open the relevant pull request, then look at the auto-pings made by the GitHub-bot driven from CODEOWNERS.
• For non-PR questions, the OpenJS Foundation Slack (#nodejs-core, #nodejs-build, #nodejs-platform-build, #nodejs-tsc) is faster than the issue tracker.
• For security issues, follow SECURITY.md and email security@nodejs.org. Do not open a public issue.

Becoming a Collaborator

The criteria are documented in doc/contributing/collaborator-guide.md and onboarding.md. The short version: a sustained track record of high-quality PRs and reviews, demonstrated good judgement on the kind of trade-offs Node's users care about, and a TSC nomination.
