I get that you're busy, and I understand that situation -- I get swamped too. The latency on LSM patch review has been very high lately, and I'm hoping there's some way we could help. I assume other folks could jump in and help with the queue[1], but I'm not sure if that would satisfy your requirements? Other subsystems have been switching more and more to a group maintainership system, etc. Are there other people you'd be comfortable sharing the load with? (Currently James and Serge are also listed as "M:" in MAINTAINERS, but I don't think the 3 of you have a shared git.kernel.org tree, for example...) And yes, there are a lot of patches up for review. I'm antsy about this series in particular because I'm worried inaction is going to create larger problems for the LSM as a whole. We've already had Linus drop in and tell us to do better; I'd really like to avoid having him make unilateral changes to the LSM, especially when we have a solution on deck that has been reviewed by many people. I will go back to being anxious/patient... ;) -Kees [1] https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-security-module/list/ -- Kees Cook
