I couldn't speak to off-list chats, but this has been going on for awhile.

The statement that they were going to maintain this without the support of the DMA maintainer was made 22 days ago [1]. That statement was rejected 11 days ago [2]. Linus was explicitly asked to intervene 10 days ago [3]. (Too complete the timeline Hector Martin first got involved 4 days ago, Linus intervened about that yesterday).

I don't know why you think Linus will suddenly choose to address this Monday.
