+
+Please welcome [David Wood] to the compiler team and [Jack Huey] to the [compiler-contributors] group!
+
+David Wood ([@davidtwco]) has been a frequent contributor to Rust in many different parts of the compiler.
+Much of David's recent work has been focused on [polymorphisation] which allows rustc to reduce the number of duplicated generic functions in certain situations and on adding [split DWARF] support to the LLVM backend.
+Previously, David has worked on numerous diagnostic improvements, internal compiler error fixes and the [non-lexical lifetimes] initiative.
+
+Jack Huey ([@jackh726]) has been a major contributor to the [Chalk] project which is a re-implementation of the Rust trait system using logical-programming constructs with the eventual goal of replacing the current system.
+In addition to Chalk, Jack has also worked on various refactorings to make the rustc trait code more like Chalk.
+Jack is also the co-lead of the [traits working group] which is coordinating this effort.
+
+Congratulations [David Wood] and [Jack Huey] and thanks!
