(cc Intel and tboot-devel)
Hi Roger,
Thanks for your interest in documenting the status of maintenance for Intel TXT support in Xen. Intel TXT and Xen are deployed in production today by OpenXT and QubesOS for boot integrity. Xen was a pioneering adopter of DRTM, almost a decade ago, but mainstream enterprise computing is now catching up with the May 2019 release of Windows 10 SystemGuard. It would be nice to avoid "orphaning" one of Xen's competitive advantages in 2019.
Gang Wei Intel email address has been bouncing for some time now,
Gang Wei's replacement is Lukasz Hawrylko, who posted on March 6, 2019:
Could you include Lukasz patch, along with Julien's requested formatting changes, in your update to the MAINTAINERS file? As a new Xen maintainer and contributor, Lukasz may not yet be familiar with the procedures and practices of the Xen community. We can welcome his new maintainership role without dropping support for a feature, that (a) he is maintaining, (b) is used by Xen.
Since we have at least one Intel maintainer, Lukasz, the feature need not be orphaned. If Shawn is not responding to the request to confirm Lukasz as maintainer, the Xen community has multiple communication channels with Intel. Pragmatically, a review of the tboot-devel archives shows that Lukasz is working on tboot development.
