<div>Hi LLVM/Clang devs,</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Does LLVM / Clang have some sort of publicly-available
organigram of its maintainers? Something like the Linux kernel
maintainers tree (<a href="https://www.kernel.org/doc/linux/MAINTAINERS">https://www.kernel.org/doc/linux/MAINTAINERS</a>).</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I find this to be a pretty big entry barrier for people trying
to contribute or help with LLVM or Clang. It says all over the
submission process description and requirements that patches have
to be reviewed by maintainers, that they can be contacted for help
and things along those lines. But if I'm working on some specific
part of llvm/clang, how on Earth am I supposed to know who is the
appropriate maintainer to contact or tag on patches or questions
for that specific part / module of llvm/clang?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>It leaves a kind of "private club" impression, where there's a
facade of openness to community contributions with an effective
restriction to "insiders". As an outsider trying to contribute some
patch(es), I can say that the hurdles are too much (e.g.,
contributing patches to Boost is like a walk in the park in
comparison to LLVM/Clang).</div>
