    Oh I expect absolute crickets from all the people who waded into this trashing Hellwig.

        I will show you mine if you show me yours.

        Not that number of commits has anything to do with calling out brigading which you still seem to be committed to.

          Well, here is a very funny one-off commit, but my biggest effort was probably substantial parts of a couple AMD/ATI GPU drivers, well-summarized here. As usual, that was a team effort, with particular credit to Deucher (AMD), Glisse (radeon maintainer), and Airlie (DRM/DRI maintainer). So, put up or shut up. Or, to paraphrase the sentiment that you seem to not grok: talk is cheap; show us your code.

          Let me make it clear. I call out brigading because it is useless noise that distorts and obfuscates the kernel development process. I don’t care that you’re salty that I’m pointing out that your “absolute crickets” comment is not only incorrect, but empty in the sense that your lack of perception is not a substitute for the actual process of kernel development. Additionally, in this case, it seems like you’re still focused on personalities rather than the underlying computer science; I expect “absolute crickets” when asking you about the topic of memory safety.

            My commits have my real name, because I do serious work, and no I won’t be doxxing myself on this account.

            I call out brigading

            What kind of lazy gaslighting is this? You were part of the brigade. You have literally been participating in the kind of behaviour that Linus has correctly called out as unhelpful.

            Please continue to think you’re on the right side of this discussion when the guy you went out to bat for has stepped down as a maintainer and deleted his socials over this.
