It would probably be helpful for those of us at Google and Qualcomm, who have an entirely git-based workflow to be able to pull patches from somewhere, especially if you already have trees that you could publish and it's not a huge burden on you. What has worked well for me the last couple times I've sent patches out was to put them in an outgoing git branch somewhere, use the git tools to email them to lkml/lakml for review, and include a pointer to the git://... that people can pull from -- sorta the best of both worlds.
