Yeah, so I just used get_maintainer.pl and it picked you but I'm
happy if you enjoy it :-) linux-tpmdd comes originally from TPM driver
but these days it's really just my maintainer tree for every possible
pull request I do, as I'm also e.g. Linux keyring co-maintainer.

My biggest barrier with Rust has been testing (like almost always in any
software engineering problem) so I just figured out something that would
sort it out for me. I also thought that by starting doing some testing
for Rust patch sets that contain some tests would be a low-barrier way
for me to learn a bit how everything works in that side.

I think I quickly talked about this with Fiona and this is a bit
different angle in a way i.e., using Nix for profit as a tool to
implement together with Docker a trivial embedded build system so that
you can build kernel + EFI in any operating system (I personally use
Fedora).
