Alex Gaynor (Rust for linux co-maintainer) steps down
https://www.phoronix.com/news/Alex-Gaynor-Rust-Maintainer
Miguel Ojeda is now the sole official maintainer of the code while there are several Rust code reviewers.
Is Rust dying in linux?
Alex Gaynor wrote on the patch removing himself as a maintainer of the Rust code:
“I’ve long since stopped having the time to contribute code or reviews, this acknowledges that.
Geoffrey Thomas and I created the “linux-kernel-module-rust” project at PyCon in 2018, as an experiment to see if we could make it possible to write kernel modules in Rust. The Rust for Linux effort has far exceeded anything we could have expected at the time.
I want to thank all the Rust for Linux contributors, past and present, who have helped make this a reality – and in particularly Miguel, who really transformed this project from an interesting demo to something that could really land in mainline.“
