I thought Jordan Walke created React, not Sebastian Markbåge, in which case he already moved on (to ReasonML)

Right, I meant that Sebastian is the current maintainer. Not to detract from Dan Abramov etc, but the feel I get is that Sebastian is the one who really sets the pace for where React is going these days (i.e. hooks, suspense, etc). Correct me if I'm wrong.

  Well, you're factually wrong. Abramov is the current React maintainer. Markbage is obviously a core team member but contributing good ideas doesn't automatically transform one into being the project maintainer.

    Didn't mean it as an XOR. FWIW, looking at the github commit history one might get the impression that acdlite is the main committer in the repo these days, followed by trueadm and bvaughn (gaeron doesn't look all that active recently in comparison). I don't really hear those three core team members talk much about JS since their twitters tend to be less technical. My impressions come mostly from what I see the more technically-vocal react team members say publicly and I feel like gaeron often makes it sound like the bulk of react concepts are other people's contributions. Markbage certainly seems like the "vision" person in the team </shrug>

    Uh... there's not a _single_ React "maintainer". There's a React _team_, which currently consists of: - Seb Markbage: general deep thinking and vision, works on Suspense and some of the server rendering - Andrew Clark: implemented much of the Suspense and Concurrent Mode core - Dan Abramov: started Create-React-App, wrote the hooks and Concurrent Mode docs, works on various parts of the library and tooling - Brian Vaughn: rewrote the React DevTools, added the Profiler, recently implemented the upcoming `useMutableSource` hook - Dominic Gannaway: previously created Inferno, now works on a lot of the upcoming new event system and other optimizations - Nicolas Gallagher: previously created React Native Web, now also works on the event system - Luna Ruan: newer to the team, helped implement the `useOpaqueId` hook that just got merged - Rachel Nabors: currently working on revamping the docs and community outreach They have a team bio page here: https://reactjs.org/community/team.html https://reactjs.org/community/team.html

      Thank you for the correction. I didn't realize they structured the team without a 'maintainer' role.
