This is merely a list of the "critical Internet services or libraries" that he claims in one way or another, and ensuring the maintenance of such software is part of the whole thesis.

I don't understand your objection. Either you do the work or you don't. There's no "critical Internet infrastructure" value in simply attaching your name to things.

We have no basis for a discussion of the work you claim he's not doing.
