I'm not talking about the upstream source, but about the debian
repository: given both of these are inextricably tied to the kernel, I
think it would be good to have the downstream repositories in salsa,
in the kernel-team area - and of course, still including yourself as
repo owner. The kernel team is not only for the kernel package, but
also other kernel-adjacent packages like ethtool, iproute2, firmware,
iw, etc: https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team
