I don't think this has been insurmountable before, particularly for
anybody who has been around for as long as you have.  Even your
current email goes back to at least the beginnings of git.

If "two decades+ of active kernel development involvement using the
same email address" doesn't make you eligible for a kernel.org
account, we're doing something wrong.
