From https://x.com/nateberkopec/status/1930010446410723533 & followups: jemalloc mystery resolved: jemalloc has moved to the official Facebook github organization context: for the last 2+ years the primary maintainers of jemalloc have been FB employees. this just formalizes Evans' stepping off the project. jemalloc’s not dead ! The Meta fork is the new home, “still actively developing here” but issues now have to go in discussions https://github.com/facebook/jemalloc/discussions/7#discussioncomment-13394532 Contributor commit info shows pretty abrupt handoff from Jason Evans to Qi Wang (interwq) and David Goldblatt in 2017, so I presume this “small team” was primarily these 2. Note Qi Wang’s contributions tapering off, David stopped post-pandemic: LinkedIn says he left Meta in 2024
