This document keeps a record of who maintains each functional area of Tcl (TIP #16).
Listed below are Tcl's 52 functional units, in the same order as in TIP #16. See TIP #16 for the precise definition of what code belongs to what area. The area names are changed to match the Categories in Tcl's SourceForge Bug Manager (http://sourceforge.net/bugs/?group_id=10894).
Note that an area can have more than one maintainer. When the maintenance of the entire area requires several types of expertise, it is desirable to have more than one maintainer.
In several of the areas below, there are maintainers who have volunteered to provide special expertise (for example, assistance with programming and testing for the Mac platform) to assist in maintaining an area, but who have not taken on the whole area. These maintainers are indicated by a parenthesized designation of their expertise.
For each of Tcl's functional units, the following maintainers are assigned:

The following Categories in Tcl's SourceForge Bug Tracker should be mapped to new Categories corresponding to a maintained area of Tcl, when seeking the appropriate maintainer:
Build - map to Configure and Build Tools.
Clock - map to Time Measurement.
CodeCleanup - map to section of code being cleaned up.
Commands - map to the specific command or one of A-H, I-L, or M-Z.
Docs - no longer a separate Category. Map to the section of code being documented.
Exec and Pipe - map to Channel Types.
File System (trash) - map to File System.
I18N - map to ???
Installation - map to Configure and Build Tools.
Other - reassign once area is determined.
Other IO - reassign to appropriate Channel category.
Packaging - map to ???
Sockets - map to Channel Types.
Tests - no longer a separate Category. Map to the section of code being tested.
Unix - map to specific problem on Unix.
Windows - map to specific problem on Windows.
Those sections without a maintainer are maintained by the Tcl Core Team with each change requiring TYANNOTT review.
