Didn't our Dear Editor's blog entry on linux.com say something like "kernel.org may appear to be a hub of development, but it is really more of a hub of distribution."? I can't double-check because linux.com is down due to being compromised...

That is how I thought it worked, too. Unfortunately, bugzilla.kernel.org, wiki.kernel.org, and stable@kernel.org are all very useful for development and all down with no fallback I know of.
