Why's it funny that "Andrea would be more of a VM mainainer than Linus"?

After all, it was *Andrea* that *wrote* the thing in the first place, not Linus...

Because *writing* != *maintaining*.

Maintaining means reviewing other people's patches, forwarding them to
tree maintainers, making sure the code stays clean and well-documented,
etc. Andrea has not even bothered much sending his own to Linus/Marcelo.
