The "Rust Core Team" is not a Mozilla construct. Many of the folks on it are Mozilla employees, but the core team is not a paying job.
Mozilla hired Steve to work on docs.
Steve was invited to the Rust Core Team because of his online activities, among other things.
Neither wycats nor steve were being paid by Mozilla at the point that post was written IIRC. (I might be getting my timelines mixed up here. wycats has contracted for mozilla in the past for cargo and stuff, but I don't recall exactly when that happened)
- steveklabnik 10y agoTo reply to both of you at once, I was near the end of my first contract with Mozilla to write docs full-time when I was added to the core team; I then got a second contract, and finally, a "real job." (I had to look this up in my email to remember myself, frankly.)
