I've setup a tree on kernel.org yes, but there's nothing useful in
it yet (it has 3 branches, master, merge and next, but they are
currently pointing to the exact same spot as Paul's).

I've started collecting things yesterday and sending comments, I'll
push some new stuff out today or tomorrow. Mostly been "training" with
git and patchwork so far :-)
