Hi,

Yes, the official repository is indeed:
	 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/devel/sparse/sparse.git

I consider the other one as Chris' staging/pending tree and indeed
it contains some commits which have never been pushed to the official tree.
And since August 2015, there have been a now a bunch of patches posted on
the mailing list which haven't received any actions or comments from the
maintainer.

Yes, Chris Li is still the maintainer.
