How codes Blender and decides whats in and whats out?

EDIT: it’s ‘Who’ and not ‘How’ in the thread title

Hi like the title says I’m curious to know about Blender development since I have some ideas of my own and would like to team up to see them come to life.

So my question is, where do I look for? Who decides what is part of blender or what is not, who are the developers, etc. I know these must be quiet ignorant questions, but I’m not familiar with this type of development.

Cheers

‘some features are purposefully not in blender (pre-selection highlighting, mesh wireframe colors for eg’

Hmmm I’ve always though that mesh colours was some kind of Blender code limitation? Because of all the patches that have been rejected.

I really miss not being able to layout out my scenes with coloured meshes.
