Hi Tobias,
Sounds good. I've gone ahead and committed this in commit
dedbdacf275cb7871c7336bd7a27ceb609b15113 with a few little changes, per
your suggestions.

I didn't know we had mirror config for kernel.org. I've switched to
using that in the latest patch.

Yes, this home page is better. I'll use it!

I've changed my synopsis to be more like yours.
