The original author is a large corporation that wanted to remain anonymous after that whole https://lwn.net/Articles/478308/ thing. They're almost single handledly responsible for the existence of the "pending" directory because I couldn't keep up with the review on all their submissions. :) My big todo items for fdisk (other than finding time to carefully read through 1300 lines of code) are 1) sfdisk-style API (possibly less disgusting, but definitely scriptable and well documented), 2) research how EFI partitions work (to add support for that), 3) come up with 8 gazillion ways to test it which means QEMU in the test suite.
