19 You have my support too. hardened-sources depends on gentoo-sources and
20 you've done a good job in supporting hardened :)

22 Regarding a kernel lead, I'm not sure either, but we need to keep lines
23 of communication open because often times an issue comes in as a
24 "hardened kernel" issue when its really a vanilla issue and affects all
25 of us. I'm sure the same happens for every flavor of kernel in gentoo.
26 My general approach has been if its a hardened specific issue we deal
27 exclusively at our end, but if its vanilla, then the bug should be
28 reassigned to the larger group because we all have a stake in it.
29 That's not to say that we can't all tackle general kernel issues.
