BTW, i think that historically, the pages in question where listing a few
lead-porter, not all of the porters. This include people who work on important
areas (toolchain, kernel, d-i mostly today), as well as people who take over a
coordinator role.
I think both me and waldi qualify for this, i am unsure of the others, i don't
think there is currently someone actively looking after the porting needed
packages and having a global overview outside of the kernel/d-i area. This is
in big part due to the fact that powerpc is mostly a mainstream arch today,
and most issues have been solved long ago.
