I set up my tree after a request from Linus; it was meant as a place for near-term BKL-removal stuff to accumulate. In the last couple of cycles, it's only had a small trickle of stuff that I've been able to do myself. Ingo's tree is a rather grander vision, including a bunch of debugging stuff and more.
The time for my tree may be nearing its end, but I'd just as soon keep it around for a little longer. I may yet find some time to do some more work in this area.
