Maybe for now it'd make sense to move the repo into the backports/ group
on kernel.org? Or are you trying keep everything together in
docs/docsko/?

It probably doesn't matter anyway, I'm just not sure how permissions
would work if it's in docs/docsko/, I guess you can still give the
backport group access? Who actually does have access to the repo now?

Honestly, I have very little opinion on this - even the few changes that
backports is still seeing we're not taking much care of the wiki these
days. Maybe Hauke has any further thoughts.
