I'm willing to be persuaded otherwise, but the reason I changed
this part was twofold:

 - The documentation is meant to be an example for subsystem
   maintainers, who are "non-public" people anyway.

 - Linus publicly stated number of times that he fulfils the
   pull requests to him by pulling from master --- this avoids
   mirroring lag.  Not slowing down subsystem maintainers
   waiting for mirroring lag would equally be a good idea, I
   thought.

There are people without kernel.org accounts who do similar sorts of
work.

We want to publicize this machine as little as possible.  Please don't 
make it worse than necessary.
