Community Maintained Code

This directory contains code maintained by the Perfetto community, not the core Perfetto team.

Code in this directory is:

• Community maintained: Owned and supported by contributors listed in OWNERS.github (please stick to this naming to avoid internal rollout complications).
• Not officially supported: The Perfetto core team does not guarantee maintenance
• Not part of Android/Google builds: Not included in Android or Google-internal repositories
• Experimental: May have different stability and compatibility guarantees than core Perfetto.

Using contrib/ code

If you depend on code from contrib/, understand that:

• Breaking changes may occur without the same deprecation periods as core APIs.
• Bugs may take longer to fix depending on maintainer availability.
• Features may be removed if maintainers are no longer active.

To add a new project to contrib/:

1. Open a GitHub issue proposing the addition
