We still require a valid web of trust before we can issue an account, so
things haven't really changed in that regard. You have to get a PGP signature
from at least 2 other people who already have an account on kernel.org.

If you just need to host your git tree for hosting and sending pull requests,
then there's really no lack of options. Any large commercial git forge will
do just fine, including github, gitlab, gitea, sourcehut, etc. There's nothing
really special about kernel.org in this regard.
