We don't have a definition of what it means for kernel team members to maintain a specific architecture, but I think a minimum requirement would be: - Run one or more test/development systems with that architecture and the current kernel package from unstable or experimental - Handle incoming bug reports relating to that architecture (doesn't mean you have to be able to solve them) Ideally: - Test each experimental version for that architecture - Follow the Linux mailing list for that architecture All kernel team members should also be subscribed to the debian-kernel mailing list, of course.
