Exactly. Otherwise we'll end up with a single maintainer for a huge codebase written by different people for different reasons. This is how lib/ is maintained now. Not very effective. > Ack - how do you expect things to work in terms of code flow? Do we need > to have a dedicated tree and send you pull requests?

(Not sure you've asked me but anyways) For maintenance hierarchy I'd suggest a structure where an author of the new subsystem obviously becomes a maintainer, then some acknowledged Rust person co-maintains it, and lately some non-rust person from a related kernel subsystem becomes a reviewer or co-maintainer. In 6.18 we did this for bitmaps, and the maintenance entry looks like: BITMAP API [RUST] M: Alice Ryhl M: Burak Emir R: Yury Norov S: Maintained F: rust/kernel/bitmap.rs Check 11eca92a2cae ("rust: add bitmap API"). Thanks, Yury
