It boils down to: git.kernel.org is for Linux kernel hackers.
For Peter Anvin, founder of Syslinux, is that fine. He is also
a kernel hacker.

So for Syslinux needs a new "home" be found.

I think that needs to be rewritten into actual commands / statements.
I take a shot:

 * Sebastian: convert repo.or.cz Syslinux repo from "mirror" to "push-able"

A "please" is implied and an expliciet "please" is now included  :-)


The effort is important because it avoids giving github to much power.
