~ Abstract
This document keeps a record of who maintains each functional area
of Tcl ([16]).
~ Assignments
Listed below are Tcl's 55 functional units, in the same order as
in [16]. See [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:

~ Orphaned Categories
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:
1. ''Other'' - Used for reports that span several categories. Also
includes many closed old reports from before the time
the current categories were established.
~ Sections Without Maintainers
Those sections without a maintainer are maintained by the Tcl Core
Team with each change requiring TYANNOTT review.
