Odd. I thought kernel.org was supposed to be vendor neutral. I don't think Android is vendor neutral, it is just Google's phone platform.

At the moment a lot code out there is Google's creation, true, but the idea is that this situation is temporary.

Let's see how well it'll go. Results of previous such tries (RedHat with Fedora and Sun with OpenSolaris) are certainly mixed...

I think the reason might be that Google Code can't handle git, only subversion (last I heard. If that changed, then ignore this comment).
