I'll actually say, it hasn't been an immediate priority given the number of other tasks that are more immediately pending.

There hasn't been any serious movement on getting you your home directory for several reasons:
1) You haven't asked for your account to be reinstated on kernel.org. I have no record of you having ever sent in a gpg key at all, let alone one that's been signed so we can verify you and your request
2) Without a gpg key so we can verify you and your request, we can't encrypt your home dir and get it to you.
3) You asked hpa directly and not ftpadmin@kernel.org
