Over the past two years, I've been happy to do porting work and
package building and testing for people who don't have a powerpc
system.  However, I'm not intimately involved in GCC/binutils/kernel
stuff, so I'm not sure I count as a "porter" in that respect.  From a
simple packaging-for-powerpc perspective, I will continue to do all my
development on powerpc.  I don't think anyone in the list is active in
running buildds.

Unfortunately, I'm not likely to have much time for Debian over the
coming 9 months as I study for a Masters degree, so I'm (temporarily)
limited in how responsive I can be.  I've been pretty busy over the
last 3 months, and I don't see it improving much.  If responsiveness
is an issue, I might be best left off the official list for the time
being!  That said, I'll still continue to look into powerpc problems I
come across.


Merry Christmas!
Roger
