As reported by Michael Larabel on the Phoronix website, Linus Torvalds (Finnish programmer, creator of the Linux kernel and Git version control system) has not had time to write new, original code for the Linux kernel in recent years. Currently, he works mainly with the development team, reviewing other people's code before committing it to the kernel tree. However, he did manage to write some new code for Linux 6.4.
