Linux Kernel's Zstd Code Gets A Co-Maintainer
Hopefully leading to more timely updates to the Zstd compression code within the Linux kernel is a decision to add on a co-maintainer of the in-kernel Zstandard code.
In hopefully helping out the situation moving forward, David Sterba of SUSE who is known for his Btrfs development work is stepping on as co-maintainer of the in-kernel Zstd code. Meta engineer Nick Terrell appreciates the additional help and acknowledged he's not always the most plugged into the Linux kernel development activity and so with Sterba's co-maintenance will hopefully yield a brighter in-kernel Zstd future moving forward. That MAINTAINERS entry update is queued via the "cryptodev" crypto subsystem development code ahead of the upcoming Linux 6.15 merge window.
