Usually I push to github and kernel.org at the same time.

But every once in a while, my OTP token for kernel.org expires, and
then I have to get my OPT token generator and update it and push
again.

So sometimes github ends up getting my pushes earlier, simply because
it doesn't have quite the same kind of strict security checks.
