> While the comment above is certainly hyperbolic, a Mercurial link listing non-hyperlinked usernames of committers that may or may not be direct employees is a somewhat simplistic & ultimately insufficient response.

The diffs are linked and it is pretty easy to see if the authors have mozilla.com email addresses.

I don't really think it is all that simplistic - you can very easily see what at least a portion of their employees are doing. I think people can fairly easily judge based on that whether they think they are necessary.

Perhaps if the poster had asked a different question, a more "sufficient" response could have been provided.
