Good Q. get_maintainer.pl says Andrew owns the ref_tracker code:

$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl lib/ref_tracker.c
Andrew Morton <akpm@...ux-foundation.org> (maintainer:LIBRARY CODE)
linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org (open list:LIBRARY CODE)
LIBRARY CODE status: Supported

...but I think he ends up owning anything without an explicit
maintainer.

Eric Dumazet wrote the ref_tracker originally though, and the new files
are only added for networking stuff. If you wanted to pick it up, I
doubt Andrew would mind.

Thanks,
