Look at arch.debian.org. The entire kernel is already available there.
http://arch.debian.org/arch/linux/linus/linus--mainline/
I think that it is possible to trust this repository for development (as
upstream vanilla source), but the Debian source package should still use
the upstream tarball downloaded from kernel.org. This way even if
someone cracks arch.d.o and inserts backdoors, these will not be part of
the Debian kernel.
