From my personal experience and just looking at the commiter that has been touching the usb files I'd add Ian Dowse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to that short guru list. He has been pretty busy recently, but if you're willing to do your homework I'm sure he'd be happy to answer any questions.

As Warner said it takes time to work through such a large change. Hans-Petter Selasky stack is trying to be free of the GIANT lock and that's a bit tricky with USB, but ultimately the direction we are heading for 7.0. -- Anish Mistry
