I think this is an excellent move and the sign of a mature organization. I can hardly imagine the confusion and strife that would arise from the sudden termination of Linus' git repo.

Elijah Sandiford at Linus Tech Tips asking Linus Torvalds what happens to Linux if Linus dies. Recorded around September 2025. Aired in November. Plan made in the 2025 Maintainers Summit. Great episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfv0V1SxbNA&t=1860s
