From what I understand Greg Kroah-Hartman would take over
A quick search shows he's actually two years older than Linus. Though I'm sure there's plenty of young blood in the community by now.
Not that much, unfortunately.
The entire process of contributing is a huge pain and makes it rather hard for new people to join.
I think this is by design. I once contributed to git, and it required putting a patch in the mailing list. It certainly forced you to be sure your code was spot on.
And it will discourage new users from contributing. Thus, only boomers and corpos will contribute, and over time Linux becomes a de facto corporate owned committee.
At which point it becomes Gregus.
Gregux*
Or as someone else said, Grex
I would switch to grex when that happens
Any talk or podcast with him is generally worth listening to.
