Thanks! I saw a video of a presentation on JMeter recently; IIRC that was about JMeter use at Google. > Although I've been working with JMeter for a while, I'm new to your > development, e-mail lists, and team.

The JMeter team is quite small; the PMC is shown here [1] and the committers here [2] Commit activity tends to vary with time; at present sebb and pmouwad are the most active, but wolfel and milamber have also been active since the formation of the JMeter TLP. There are also lots of people who help out on the JMeter user list. We use Bugzilla to track outstanding issues and as with all ASF projects, decisions are taken on project mailing lists. So there should not be anything that is not written down, though it may not always be easy to find!
