> Theodore Ts'o

He oversaw Linux's random number generator. I remember him, because Intel was trying to get Linux to just use the output of the RDRAND instruction for Linux's RNG. Ts'o resisted and just used it as an input for the software RNG. Shortly after, it came out that the NSA was working with chip manufacturers to insert backdoors into encryption-related hardware functions; and there was speculation that RDRAND was one such target.

If he's gone, I wonder who oversees design decisions in this area and what affiliations they may have?

Edit: Sarah/Sage used to work at Intel. Hmm...
