New Apple Silicon Co-Maintainer Steps Up For The Linux Kernel


This week was the dramatic decision by Asahi Linux lead developer Hector Martin to step down as upstream kernel maintainer for the Apple Silicon (ARM) code following friction with other kernel developers over Rust affairs within the kernel

He still intends to contribute code to Asahi Linux's downstream kernel and Linus Torvalds has already merged the patch dropping him as an upstream maintainer. Now in addition to Sven helping to oversee the upstream Apple Silicon patches for the Linux kernel is Janne Grunau. This patch aims to make it official and thus still hopes for more Apple Silicon code reaching the mainline kernel in a timely fashion.
