Most likely, you'll want to put "git@vger.kernel.org" as vendor for git,
as the whole vendor concept doesn't really fly with FOSS. There's noone
to go to if it breaks your systems, and unless you purchase a support
contract from somewhere there's noone to turn to except the (excellent)
git community in case you have issues with it.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
