AFAIK the plan is to centralize all the kernel repositories to a single

I did not know about that plan, but that is interesting and now
I understand why you think it is important to be able for more
than one person to push into a single repository.

How will the namespace of N-hundred branches in that repository
be managed?  To avoid collisions, wouldn't there be some
coordination, and there will be branch names there that
everybody agrees that they are owned by you?

At that point, wouldn't it be easier for _you_ (as one kernel
developer who owns such globally unique branch names) to name
your branch you intend to push there the same way in your
working repository as well?
