    Well, “maintainer” is usually a single person job. They didn’t write all the code or whatever, just were the gatekeeper to what got added and making sure shit works.

    So I mean, it’s not great nobody is stepping up, but it’s also not like they magiced up the entirety of linux’s wifi support single handed, either.

        Where did you read that? I only saw Johannes Berg saying he couldn’t maintain that stack too, after three days.

        Ah cool, the one time I read the article it’s wrong and saying that there hadn’t been someone who had stepped up yet.

        Well, I’ll go back to making uninformed comments based solely on the headline, because clearly the articles are not adding any value. (/s, etc.)
