From what I've been told, UMN aren't active kernel contributors, not making a submission between 2014 and the relevant paper in 2020.

I don't know why this really matters. They could be running a similar experiment this time pretending UMN was compromised.

I'm not sure who Pakki is, if he's not part of the first research group at all it is truly unfortunate he is receiving the blame for it. If he was, the internet's reaction is still unwarranted but frankly typical. I don't see how Kroah-Hartman is at fault though.
