Actually, I just discovered, the person who wrote this bullshit article is the first to submit it in the crosspost.
And he's banning people from the community who ask questions about it.. Or point out it's bad info lol, so, it seems obvious its more about attention than proper journalism
!dgerard@awful.systems
Why are you banning people who dispute your claims. Everyone should be downvoting the cross posted article with a passion. He's running a dictatorship (basically seems like another "madthumbs")
For anyone who wants to see how comprehensive the oversight is on Kernel development: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.17/process/submitting-patches.html
But yeah, patches don't go straight to Linus or straight to master, and, it certainly doesn't get approved automatically by an LLM or anything like that. If you're lucky after the initial reviews, they almost certainly go to other testing trees first (and generally multiple). Then you also have staging branches, etc.
Oh it's one of the opinionated clueless douchebags from that instance, explains a lot.
For anyone curious how comprehensive the process is, the real info is in https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.17/process/submitting-patches.html
