So if an identifiable group messes with a project, but says "its for research!", then its OK? I'm just confused by your comment because it seems like you are upset with the maintainers for protecting their time from sources of known bad patches. And just... why? Where does the entitlement come from?

    Being a maintainer is being a gate-keeper, by definition. Don't get me started about their "time", most of these guys are paid to work on the linux kernel, eg. Greg Kroah-Hartman is paid by the Linux Foundation. it's literally his job. Linus has balls, I'm afraid Greg KH is a Karen compared to him.

    Other than that, they got caught red-handed accepting shit patch and complain about ethical issues when the fault is entirely on their side for not doing their job properly.

    This whole thing points to a single question: how many times did they accept patch from black hat individuals who did not disclose their intention ?

    This question the Linux development security model and highlight it being insecure to such social engineering attacks and they still manage to play victims. That's pitiful... Own it, say you fucked up accepting the patch, don't blame other for your own incompetence.

      There is zero blaming happening and I defy you to point to an example. But if some one you encounter is consistently playing tricks on you, why associate with them?
