Was reading a passage and saw this sentence which felt a bit off to me: "it is no longer I who do it". My grammatical intuition is that it should be "it is no longer I who does it".

I guess the idea is that it is the "I" (not) doing it, and so "do" conjugates with "I", but my intuition is that it would conjugate with "who".

Interestingly enough though, if I swap I out for they (which also conjugates with does), then "it is no longer they who do it" sounds more natural than "it is no longer they who does it"
