I ended public access to my git server after I got flooded by bots and my own commits were noticeably lagging. That’s not an option for the kernel. It’s hard to read the cat-and-mouse account with any hope today. I think the flood abates someday but not sure how it happens.

  Because I’m lazy. It has HTTP basic auth. If anyone wants access they can message me directly.

    Yeah, I meant for kernel.org It's hugely inconvenient for users not having an account and want to do more than clone an entire repo via an API of course.
