The project areas list acts as a "master list" for several other things:
Most importantly,
SeaMonkey's
Bugzilla components list gets derived from it, but also things like CVS
modules are based on or related to it. It's similar in purpose to the
Mozilla Module Owners
list, and the
Module
Ownership document applies as far as possible, esp. its "Criteria for
Module Ownership" section.
Additionally, SeaMonkey code reviews need
to be done by area owners or peers listed in this document.
The list is managed by Robert Kaiser (KaiRo)
<kairo@kairo.at>,
contact him with any comments or suggestions for changes.
Note that only the owner of an area (or its parent area) or the SeaMonkey
Council can decide on changes for a specific area.
So if you want to get on the list as a peer, contact the owner. If you want
to own an area, contact either the parent area's owner (if there is one) or
the SeaMonkey Council.
If the table is too wide for your little screen, try a widescreen high-resolution one. :)
