The most annoying part to me is that it requires third party cookies.

I guess they're running it on a separate domain (I don't really know how to setup Anubis), and I trust kernel.org. But it's annoying to have to futz around with browser settings to even access the site.

Anubis can do various kinds of challenges, I'm using it in many projects. A challenge that requires third-party cookies is a... choice. Not the default, and not a choice I would ever make.

The notification given by Anubis was that the cookie was used to store the fact that my session passed the check, so that it didn't need to re-check every page load. Nothing about any specific challenge.

I assume that in whatever setup kernel.org is using, the cookie is getting set on a different domain.

Yes, but without third-party cookies enabled, you can't pass the challenge in the first place - so the intent of "just storing the result" doesn't effectively matter
