No, these people write only docs. Mozilla seems to have rebuilt a dev team, after they disbanded the MDN team a couple of years ago, with the goal to extract money from the community work.

The team was disbanded a few years ago, which led to the creation of Open Web Docs (I think it is charity, the website: https://openwebdocs.org/ ) where several former editors are still maintaining MDN content. It looks like Mozilla has rebuilt a team of developers though and is trying to extract money from MDN (ads, AI, …), though they don't contribute significantly to the content nowaday.

I dream to be able to use the mdn/content repo directly on GitHub. Unfortunately the Markdown links are the "production" site ones and don't work in GitHub. It would be nice to have links that work there and their toolchain (called Yari if I understand well) should translate it when generating the MDN site.
It would allow for easier reuse of the content.
