-Linux 2.4 is maintained by Willy Tarreau. Linus Torvalds, the original creator |
| 47 |
-of Linux, handed maintainership of the Linux 2.4 branch over to Marcelo Tosatti |
| 48 |
-when Linus went off to start developing the newer 2.6 kernel tree. Marcelo did a |
| 49 |
-fine job of keeping 2.4 stable and secure, and has since handed over |
| 50 |
-maintainership to Willy. Note that only security and bug fixes are accepted into |
| 51 |
