    [$] A new era for memory-management maintainership

    Description:
    On April 21, Andrew Morton let
    it be known that he intends to begin stepping away from the
    maintainership of kernel's memory-management subsystem a responsibility
    he has carried since before memory management was even seen as its own subsystem. At the 2026 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and
    BPF Summit, one of the first sessions in the memory-management track was devoted to how the maintainership would be managed going forward. There
    are a lot of questions still to be answered.
