I too have been reviewing this patchset across multiple years and have
worked with Fan to fix locking issues, parsing issues, the initramfs
approach, etc.  My interest in getting this landed is simply a
combination of fulfilling my role as LSM maintainer as well as being
Fan's coworker.  While I realize you don't work with Fan, you are
listed as the fs-verity maintainer and as such I've been looking to
you to help review and authorize the fs-verity related code.  If you
are too busy, frustrated, or <fill in the blank> to continue reviewing
this patchset it would be helpful if you could identify an authorized
fs-verity reviewer.  I don't see any besides you and Ted listed in the
MAINTAINERS file, but perhaps the fs-verity entry is dated.

Regardless, I appreciate your time and feedback thus far and I'm sure
Fan does as well.
