I'm new to Nix and wanted to get my feet wet by using the Nix package manager. However, I wasn't sure how these packages were made. Are these packaged by the community? Who do I need to "trust" when installing these packages? In general, I was looking for info on how nix packages are made and maintained.

I realized that I didn't answer the basic question, what person or organization is behind all this? That would be the NixOS Foundation. You can get some information on the people involved in the "Teams" section on this page, https://nixos.org/community/
