Ben does not push to Greg's stable-rc, that was a mistake on my
side, but he does now have a git tree at
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bwh/linux-stable-rc.git
that he said he'd push to in order to trigger build bots. It's not
git+quilt, so I'd assume it's still very easy to add, and the releases
are rare enough that I would not expect too much additional
work for kernelci.
