A kernel.org account requires an adequately signed GPG key.  My GPG key is brand new and unsigned.  I'm going to be at the LSF/MM summit next week, and will try to gather a few signatures.

Meanwhile, I found this on the kernel.org FAQ:

We do not mirror individual projects, software, etc as we feel there are better places providing mirrors for those kinds of repositories. If you feel that kernel.org should mirror your project, please contact ftpadmin at kernel.org with the following information:

Should we continue to pursue kernel.org as a fedfs-utils distribution point, or look for one of these "better places providing mirrors for those kinds of repositories" ?
