In the linked Rust graph, eddyb (the third-highest committer) is a volunteer (an unimaginably prolific one), not a Mozilla employee. kmcallister (the fifth-highest committer) is a Mozilla employee, but not actually on the Rust team (they work primarily on Servo (though there is a fair bit of spillover between the two projects)). Rust has a few other full-time Mozilla employees that aren't represented on that chart for whatever reason (working on feature branches, perhaps?), such as nrc and pcwalton.


pcwalton, at least, has mostly been focusing on making Servo completely amazing. Not a lot on the rustc front these days. Sucks for us, great for Servo. (because pcwalton is fantastic)


sfackler is a volunteer, too.


Just goes to show how blurry the line is that I've never actually noticed that he's not an employee. :P
