Counterpoint: prior to going nuclear, is there any evidence that Marcan directly tried to get Linus's attention, given the huge quanity of mailing-list mail Linus is sure to get every day?
I only see Danilo doing that in that thread. And admittedly Linus didn't respond (and Greg KH only minimally responded). But even CC probably means a lot of mail for top maintainers, and at that point I don't see anything that would've gotten in the way of "send a PR despite the Nacked-by", which has been done in the past.
- nrabulinski 2y agoHe literally says in the post he reached out to Linus directly and to this day haven’t gotten a response. He also himself was (trying to) upstream patches for years, usually ending up similarly getting stonewalled
- o11c 2y agoI don't see the word "reach" or any relevant mention of "Linus" in either the "shaming" post or in the resignation post. Even if there was, I'm not sure I trust the word of such a drama-seeker directly, so it's reasonable to a evidence of on-mailing-list appeals adding CC (as Danilo did), and if that fails mention of contacting Linus off-list in that specific subthread.
