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.

      You don’t think anyone will miss one of the top Linux maintainers over the last 10 years? You don’t think anyone will miss the founder and primary developer of the only Linux distribution intended to work on silicon Macs? You don’t think anyone would miss the founder and primary maintainer of the Linux kernel?
