Core Committers
Evergreen has a "core team" of experienced developers who work within the community and vet patches from other developers and each other (see: How to participate in development). Core committers have additional responsibilities. Some of these people work for commercial companies, some work directly for libraries, and some are simply volunteers. This team has write access to the official(*) Git repository containing the Evergreen source code and its history, yet others are able to clone and maintain their own branches of the software. For software to be open source software, anyone with the code must be allowed to use, modify, and distribute it, but that does not mean its users are subject to the whim of others. Ultimately, it is the community as a whole that determines what Evergreen is, what goes into it, and who the committers are.
The list of active committers with Git user name and current affiliation. "Active" is defined as committing code within the last six months (last updated 2024-02-20):

Note: this list was compiled from the commit logs on the trunk branches of Evergreen and OpenSRF, so any patches that were made to one of the version branches (e.g., rel_1_4) but not forward ported for some reason are not included. If you contributed a patch that was committed to Evergreen and your name was not listed, feel free to edit this page.
