A kernel code of conduct enforcement action
Saturday November 23, 2024. 02:26 AM , from LWN.net
The Linux Foundation Technical
Advisory Board (TAB) has decided to 'restrict Kent Overstreet's participation in the kernel development process during the Linux 6.13 kernel development cycle' based on a recommendation from the Code of Conduct committee. In particular, the scope of the restriction will be to 'decline all pull requests from Kent Overstreet' during the development cycle. Overstreet is the creator and maintainer of the bcachefs filesystem. This action stems from a message Overstreet posted back in early September that was abusive toward another kernel developer; there is a fair amount of back-and-forth about the incident and the committee's attempts to extract a public apology from Overstreet in that thread. Overstreet has published a lengthy blog post describing his side of the story.
