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.
