Nobody is asking Christoph to maintain Rust code. Just work with the R4L developers occasionally when a breaking change happens, the same way he likely would need to do so with every C-based consumer of those APIs. But he doesn't want to do that, and he also doesn't want to let anyone co-maintain the DMA subsystem. At some point this does need to be called out as gatekeepy and counterproductive behavior by a maintainer who doesn't want to work with others. But working with others is kind of, like, necessary, in a project as large and critical as the Linux project. Developing new kernel talent was one of Linus' express reasons for doing the project in the first place. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvuEYtkOH88&t=6m07s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvuEYtkOH88&t=6m07s
