I'm the maintainer of record for random.c, which is different. Not long ago, I sent in a patch to add myself to the HWRNG piece because people were regularly sending me things to review and it was marked as orphan. So, Herbert: we should probably resolve this confusion in MAINTAINERS. We should add one or both of our names to HWRNG and, if necessary, add a comment to RANDOM pointing to HWRNG. I have an eventual goal to make random.c sample the hwrngs without a trip through userspace, so this may get even more confusing. -- http://selenic.com : development and support for Mercurial and Linux
