Do you not like the domain, that the domain's A record points to a
Linode box, or both?

The former.

I don't mind where a smoke server gets hosted, I just want it to be
there. But someone's going to have to host it and maintain it.

Agreed.

Of course just changing the domain would be trivial, just a matter of
someone setting up an A record somewhere, or delegating a zone to me.

John, is it possible to have smoke.git.kernel.org (or such a domain)
either point at a server Ævar controls, or to give him a shell account
there? The point is to have http://smoke.git.nix.is/ hosted on a more
"Gitty" domain.

Note that that may be a bit premature, since Junio hasn't commented on
whether he wants this at all yet.

An alternative would be to change how this works, e.g. making
submissions go by E-Mail to a public list, or having smokers push them
to public Git repositories which would be registered somewhere.

I like the idea of having it be a public Git repo since that would
probably make it easier to do maintenance on the repo (e.g., revert
"vandalism"), but there still needs to be a frontend of sorts
somewhere :).

Note that all the data is already in Git[1] it just isn't used as the
submission mechanism.
