I don't know phoronix ( http://www.phoronix-media.com/index.php?k=contact ) and won't assume they patch the kernel for NSA usage, but it at least is strange to announce a kernel from a third party repository to this list. They likely only need testers, however, Linux users should be aware that using third party repositories is a risk already regarding to the stability of the system, if you can trust the people who provide it, but it becomes a serious security risk too, if those repositories are provided by people you don't know.
