Very sad news

The main annoyance Mobian seems to be facing maintaining their kernel is that the megi kernel, which they use as a source for some patches, is no longer available as a regular git repository. That seems to be fairly easy to fix: it just takes someone to set up a mirror on some high-bandwidth host (Pagure, GitLab, GitHub, or maybe even kernel.org), regularly downloading megi's bundles with a cron job and pushing them to the mirror. Then the Mobian maintainers or any other interested people can just work with that mirror and do not have to bother with megi's way to publish the changes (and neither does megi have to change the way they are published).
