There's nothing magical about kernel.org. I see 63 github entries and 7
infradead entries in MAINTAINERS, and 12 github trees and 14 infradead
trees in linux-next.git, to name a few. There's also stuff at
freedesktop.org and probably other places. As with anything
kernel-related, it's a very distributed process, and the key is just to
have some kind of chain of trust, regardless of the storage location.

I mean, a shared one between all SPI NOR maintainers. i.e., Cyrille
would need access. I don't really know anything about kernel.org access
permissions, but if he can get on there, then by all means.

I won't bug much more about this either, but if you would rather pick
something like infradead.org, I'm sure David can help us out.
