Hi. I'm the author.

It seems to me that you are unaware that this is part 4 of a series adapted from my 2024 main programme talk at the FOSDEM conference.

I turned the talk into 4 articles.

You just read the epilogue which suggested some ways that people who weren't kernel developers -- as I am not myself -- could help.
