I think that's a great idea.

I used to use that service quite a lot, so I'd be willing to push the tar balls to kernel.org, since I have PGP key set up for kernel.org uploads (so do other people, and if someone else wants to do it, I'm happy to let them get all the glory :-) Most of the infrastructure to do this has been implemented, except for the part where the tar ball gets unpacked in the correct directory.

This would satisfy the security concerns, and it wouldn't be hard, but it would require some implementation work. Anyone have some perl hacking time to take a look at: 

      git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/kup/kup.git

… and add a "UNPACK pathanme" to the kup-server file, and work with the sysadmins at kernel.org to get it reviewed and accepted?
