Linux after Linus? The kernel community finally drafts a plan for replacing Torvalds

Linus plans to live forever. But just in case he doesn't, there's now a succession plan (though no actual successor).

So wild speculation time what happens the day that Linus isn't at the helm any more, for one reason or another. What or whom will replace Linus? Is there a list of requirements? Will AI replace Linus? Or some kind of very small shell script? Or will the $corporate overlords take over and within a short time frame everything turns to shit?
