IMO the Linux Foundation serves three functions:
1. It manages assets:
a. Linux intellectual property, like the Linux trademark.
b. It secures funding and invests the proceeds to establish fellowships for kernel developers.
c. It manages computer hardware for kernel developers.
You remember how https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel.org#2011_attack https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel.org#2011_attack was a thing? It seems reasonable for the people who's job it is to operate computer hardware to publish guidelines on securing their own workstations, and those of kernel devs who randomly have root access on kernel.org.
