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.
