Your guess is basically as good as mine, but last I heard, Ryan Murray
was taking care of the powerpc buildd(s). Whoever it is, AFAICT they
seem to handle requests sent to this list more or less randomly and
without any feedback. I agree that's a pretty frustrating situation.
As for being listed on the organization page, I doubt my current level
of activity qualifies for that, but at any rate I leave it to others to
decide.
