Hector Martin, project lead of Asahi Linux, has resigned, citing developer burnout and dissatisfaction with Linus Torvalds' management of Rust integration into the Linux kernel. Martin expressed disappointment over a lack of support from Torvalds during disputes regarding Rust drivers, which he considered a significant leadership failure. The conflict escalated after a proposed patch met resistance, leading Martin to step down as the upstream maintainer for Apple's Arm Macs, feeling disillusioned by the management's decisions and governance processes.
I consider Linus' handling of the integration of Rust into Linux a major failure of leadership.
I'm not the kind to let injustices go when I see them, so when yet another long-term maintainer abused his position... I spoke out.
