There's been 1500+ commits since 2020 on the 'main' Kernel fork that has Rust support [0]. Many of them through collaboration and backs and forths of review (look at the PRs on the fork). My understanding is that the `rust-next` branch represents what's ready for Linus to merge. So there's a whole lot that's not in there, which you're missing in your evaluation. Last year a Kernel dev from Western Digital wrote an NVME driver in Rust [1] (look at slides 15 & 16) which I would consider to be qualified and knowledgeable. I wouldn't measure the effort solely on what's been merged to mainline as there's been 6 merge windows from 6.1 to now. Many of those commits are laying the groundwork for the next few years.
