I did not do anything about these repositories on Alioth, which I think
were part of an experiment with submodules some years ago:

- preview/packages/linux
- preview/source/linux
- source/linux

I have enabled the KGB webhook.

There are some files served from <https://kernel.alioth.debian.org/>

Unix is many things to many people,
but it's never been everything to anybody.
