I have the right to be > annoyed You've already seen my feedback on this patch, and it sounds like we are in agreement as to why it would be a step backward, but I wanted to comment quickly on this other aspect of the thread. As Ricardo already pointed out, this patch was posted during an awkward period when the audit/dev branch was only open to critical fixes. If you haven't already seen it via the audit MAINTAINERS entry, we have a document describing how the audit tree is managed and some of the basic processes, a link is below: https://github.com/linux-audit/audit-kernel/blob/main/README.md It's also important to note that many Open Source maintainers have been under a lot of pressure lately due to a significant increase in reported bugs/vulnerabilities from LLM-based bug hunters. For obvious reasons, not all of these reports are public, but I think it's safe to say that any maintainer of software with more than a few users is dealing with these reports. -- paul-moore.com
