from www.kernel.org:
For comments about the web pages, please send mail to webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxx

also from www.kernel.org:
Please don't use finger.kernel.org for any sort of automatic monitoring. The number of automatic bots hitting this port is causing the finger daemon to shut down more often than not. The same information is available from http://www.kernel.org/kdist/finger_banner.

and of course the finger_banner file is not up to date.

You may consider using my http://www.xenotime.net/linux/scripts/kcurrent script.
