Another way to find experts for a given part of the compiler is to see who has made recent commits.
56+
For example, to find people who have recently worked on name resolution since the 1.68.2 release,
57+
you could run `git shortlog -n 1.68.2.. compiler/rustc_resolve/`. Ignore any commits starting with
58+
"Rollup merge" or commits by `@bors` (see [CI contribution prodcedures](./contributing.md#ci) for
59+
more information about these commits).
