Why not a separate linux-tools.git on kernel.org that parallels linux.git, with the same policies? An interesting question is who would manage such a tree. Part of the appeal of linux.git/tools may be that the tree already has an owner, thus avoiding the thorny process of selecting a new one.

Also, anything that goes into the current tree counts toward your and your company's stats in the LWN reports. (What's the kernel equivalent of "sabermetrics?)
