I'm formally stepping down as a nouveau kernel maintainer. I want to stress out this is only for the kernel side of things and has and will not have any impact on my involvement in mesa. Don't really want to add too much here, just that things need to change. Recent events (tm) is just another example of the deep disagreement. I won't be able to convince people I made up my mind on my own here, so I won't bother with it anyway. Full upstream and public statement here: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/nouveau/2025-February/046677.html

Following the R4L debacle “you are cancer, you are the problem, we are the thin blue line”, another maintainer steps down from the Linux Kernel

    I think it’s a big flaw of the mailing list system of the kernel development. Marcan’s reaction led to everyone trying to “protect the thread” from being “derailed” and ignore the actual comments that in themselves should’ve been discussed properly.

    Even leads to people here saying Marcan overreacted when I think on other social media platforms this would’ve been its own conversation separate to the conduct of other users.

    I say this purely speculatively since I havent ever held a longrunning group convo in a mailing list intentionally.
