your University.
Understandable from gkh, but I feel sorry for any unrelated research happening at University of Minnesota.
EDIT: Searching through the source code[1] reveals contributions to the kernel from umn.edu emails in the form of an AppleTalk driver and support for the kernel on PowerPC architectures.
In the commit traffic[2], I think all patches have come from people currently being advised by Kangjie Liu[3] or Liu himself dating back to Dec 2018. In 2018, Wenwen Wang was submitting patches; during this time he was a postdoc at UMN and co-authored a paper with Liu[4].
Prior to 2018, commits involving UMN folks appeared in 2014, 2013, and 2008. None of these people appear to be associated with Liu in any significant way.
