Anyone with a kernel.org account can push git repos.

github kinda works too, though I am a Bad Microsoft Citizen(tm) so they
arbitrarily claim on first access that I'm over a rate limit that they
do not specify.  Granted that makes them a Bad Provider(tm) but I doubt
they hear me above all the AI noise.

Sounds fine to me.
