Since you are not responding to my emails, I must assume that either you
did not see them, you are too busy to respond, or you are ignoring them.

Please note that if the lack of response is due to you being busy, my
offer to help out with C configfs still stands [1].

If I do not hear anything back from you, I will have to ask for these
patches to be routed through the rust subsystem tree instead of the
configfs tree.


Best regards,
Andreas Hindborg
