I get that you're busy, and I understand that situation -- I get swamped
too. The latency on LSM patch review has been very high lately, and I'm
hoping there's some way we could help. I assume other folks could jump
in and help with the queue[1], but I'm not sure if that would satisfy
your requirements? Other subsystems have been switching more and more to
a group maintainership system, etc. Are there other people you'd be
comfortable sharing the load with? (Currently James and Serge are also
listed as "M:" in MAINTAINERS, but I don't think the 3 of you have a
shared git.kernel.org tree, for example...)

And yes, there are a lot of patches up for review. I'm antsy about this
series in particular because I'm worried inaction is going to create
larger problems for the LSM as a whole. We've already had Linus drop
in and tell us to do better; I'd really like to avoid having him make
unilateral changes to the LSM, especially when we have a solution on
deck that has been reviewed by many people.

I will go back to being anxious/patient... ;)
