Which links to https://docs.kernel.org/process/maintainers.html#rust https://docs.kernel.org/process/maintainers.html#rust which has a list of people. There is also https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux/blob/rust-next/MAINTAINERS#L20646-L20671 https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux/blob/rust-next/MAINT... which is the in-tree documentation of who maintainers are. > The fact that this has to be specified - and still qualified with "most" - is a big part of the problem with this. For a very long time, linux wouldn't even compile with clang, becuase they use gcc extensions. These are effectively the same idea as nightly features. The kernel has never used standard C. Nowadays clang has enough support and keeps it going. I agree with you that I personally would much prefer that they were on 100% stable Rust, but the Linux folks in general are way more fine with depending on specific versions for the build.
