The repo at kernel.org is the official repo. It hasn't been updated in a while simply because the tools are considered stable, and I have not had a burning desire to add new features for a while. > Let's try fresh now.

I'll have a look over at github because is the first I've seen of these patches, and I'll see if I can pull them from there. If not, I'll ask the author to send them to me at this address.
