Hellwig is the maintainer of the DMA subsystem. Hellwig previously blocked rust bindings for DMA code, which in part resulted in Hector Martin from stepping down as a kernel maintainer and eventually Asahi Linux as a whole.

They don't have to be level-headed, they just need to be able to work through issues. Which is happening.

It's better for people who work together to say what's on their mind while having respect for each other, than smiling nicely and thinking badly of each other.

You and I must be reading vastly different emails, then, because this whole thing happened because they weren't working through the issues.

Yes, but they (the maintainers) are working through the issue now.

Now that people have permanently abandoned their projects... Wonderful leadership!

Yes, now, months later, when two major developers have left and the dirty laundry is all over the media.
