IIRC Michal Hocko also used to maintain one, in a different way, but that
was given up even longer ago.

linux-next seems to maintain its branch that's merged to the final next like
this:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/log/?h=akpm
but that means getting the whole of next, not just mmotm. Maybe the branch
'akpm-current/current' could be also exposed separately?

Yeah as that's how development should be done in general, the trees should
be independent if possible.
