I think it's worth clarifying: Only Walter and Andrei have the
final say on things. Everyone else is a contributor (with a
small few financially rewarded for their work). So, the above
list of people isn't a good metric for much other than knowing
who can merge your PR.
Yeah, the list is mostly of folks who have contributed
significantly enough to have been given merge permissions at
some point. Some of us may have some influence based on how
long we've been with the project and the level of knowledge and
expertise that we've shown in the process, but as far as
deciding the direction of the project or anything like that,
it's all Walter and Andrei. The primary influence that any of
us have is simply by the work we contribute via PRs and the
feedback we give when reviewing PRs. It's not like there's a
hierarchy of authority or anything like that. For the most
part, the only authority that Walter and Andrei have given
others is the authority to merge PRs.

I guess that's why Bugzilla is a complete disaster. No one, at
all, is maintaining it. As there are only 2 people that can
really maintain it, and I don't see either of them commenting on
bugs to provide direction, at least very often.
