A paper by people who can't work out how to mail linux-kernel or

Zvi did contact Matt Mackall, the current /dev/random maintainer,
and was very keen on discussing the paper with him. I don't think
he got any response.
So he's demanding that one person spend time responding to his
paper?
Who said anything about demanding? he wanted to discuss the paper. He
received no response (AFAIK). Please don't read more into it.
The "maintainer" for any given piece of the kernel is the
entry in MAINTAINERS *and* linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx *and* the
appropriate sub-mailing-list.
For security related information, it is sometimes best not to tell the
whole world about it immediately (although you should definitely tell
the whole world about it eventually). It should've probably been
posted to lkml when mpm didn't respond, I agree. I'll take the blame
for not suggesting that to Zvi.
Cheers,
Muli
