Some of the things look like they've already been upstreamed (cgroups2). Tejun Heo, the author of this announcement, is a Linux kernel developer.

Tejun is the maintainer of cgroups (and has been for several years, and has moved companies several times). All of my angst and annoyance with cgroupv2 aside, quite a few of these projects were discussed at the last OSS and he's quite right that some of the OOM handling needs to be out-of-kernel to avoid killing things that are doing actual work.
