Alex Gaynor recently announced he is formally stepping down as one of the maintainers of the Rust for Linux kernel code with the removal patch now queued for merging in Linux 6.19.

Alex Gaynor was one of the original developers to experiment with Rust code for Linux kernel modules. He's drifted away from Rust Linux kernel development for a while due to lack of time and is now formally stepping down as a listed co-maintainer of the Rust code. After Wedson Almeida Filho stepped down last year as a Rust co-maintainer, this now leaves Rust For Linux project leader Miguel Ojeda as the sole official maintainer of the code while there are several Rust code reviewers.

I saw your reply but already at that point I knew that if I bothered to put in the effort, the only person who would have seen any code I wrote would have been you, since my comment was at -4 so nobody coming to this thread is going to read it or the reply chain, making it a wasted effort. Just like your lame "gotcha" comment here which nobody else will read, and by the way, proves nothing.
