Yes would be good if it technically works. I have not found if and how
access permission to the kernel.org repos is controlled so that multiple
users have push access.

At least there must be a single owner named. Requirements for
getting an account:

Since I am not registered as maintainer and have no good PGP network with
kernel developers it is probably better if someone who already has a
kernel.org account creates the repo.

Yes, to bring this topic forward, I have mailed the postmaster at vger
to get a mailing list first. Then someone should create the kernel.org
repo. And finally we can start filling it with patches.

BR and thanks,
