state of mipsen cross toolchains

[Helmut Grohne <helmut@subdivi.de>]

Hi,

around September 13th, support for cross building packages for mipsen
(i.e. crossbuild-essential-*) was removed from unstable without any
coordination with debian-cross@lists.debian.org. Since then, I inquired
multiple times on the state of these cross toolchains without any useful
replies.

I see that we now have binutils-mipsen, gcc-9-cross-mipsen,
gcc-defaults-mipsen, but no build-essential-mipsen.

What is the plan for crossbuild-essential-mips and
crossbuild-essential-mips64el? Are these supposed to come back
eventually? If so, when?

In the absence of these packages, should I remove support for mipsen
from crossqa.debian.net?
