Specifically Ted Ts'o, who is one of the most prolific kernel maintainers. Probably 100x more valuable to the project than this Rust guy.
And Ts'o is absolutely correct: if the Linux kernel ends up moving in the direction where this Rust guy wants it to go, eventually he would have to learn Rust. Putting aside the simple fact that this happens on every project which uses multiple languages, the Rust guy saying he's fine with Rust being a "second class citizen" won't be fine with that status quo forever.
