2 things:
-we have address@hidden at http://arch.debian.org/arch/linux
that has release/pre-release granularity.
This is good enough for past kernels but not good enough for future
developement. Maybe with the same effort we can import the kernel at the
maximum granularity, helping in future back and forth porting fetures
from 2.4 to 2.6.
If we decide not to include the maximum granularity (importing split
patches or the bkcvs tree, as it does not look too difficult and could
be a very good test for the import tools and arch itself) we will always
miss it for all the derived branches. It would be a pitty because it's
doable, maybe not easyly, but worth it.
-naming conventions.
I would go for explicit naming as no tags will be included for the sake
of it. No need to waste our efforts here as much as I like the taglines :)

As the tune says: it's now or never...
