It I don't know if the request is reasonable in terms of disk space and burdening denx.de with administrative work, but it would be nice if the primary maintainers had their official feeder repositories on the denx.de site. It is _very_ useful to have the feeder git repositories in one place for easy reference, and that way the repositories would tend to be more stable and available.
