Oct. 20, 2026 · The compiler team
\nWe are announcing two new groups in the compiler team:
\nThe GPU target notification group is made of experts from various vendors (AMD, Nvidia, Intel, etc.) and its goal is to better respond to issues and in general work in this area of expertise, for example this one.
\nThis group has an associated Zulip stream (#t-compiler/gpgpu-backend).
Creating of a linker group was discussed in MCP#964 to kickstart work about integrating alternative linkers in the compiler, like Wild. As the second goal, this group can be a point of contact for handling questions and issues regarding linkers.
\nThis group has an associated Zulip stream (#t-compiler/linker).
Notification groups are made of people volunteering to keep an eye and respond to issues in a specific area they have expertise, they mostly help with maintenance.
\nWorking areas explore and do work focused on specific areas with the goal of adding features or improving the compiler.
\nEach group may have an associated Zulip stream where people can ask questions and discuss topics specific to that target.
\nAnyone can add their own name to these groups and be notified when an issue in that area is raised. If you are interested in participating, feel free to sign up for these groups. To do so, just open a PR against the rust-lang/team repository (here an example).
\nFor more info, see the documentation about notification groups and compiler working areas.
