One would hope that people only CC the sparc mailing list + maintainers when there is actually something relevant in there. Also, it would be nice if someone (e.g., the maintainer or reviewers) could monitor the list to spot that there is testing demand to CC the right people. I guess one problem might be that nobody is getting paid to work on sparc I guess (I'm happy to be wrong on that one :) ). Regarding sparc, I'll keep in mind that we might have to write a separate mail to the list to get some help with testing. > > I'm trying to keep up, but since I'm on mailing lists for many different architectures, > mails can slip through the cracks.

For example, I do have a s390x machine in an IBM cloud where I can test stuff. But I worked on s390x before, so I know how to test and what to test, and how to troubleshoot. On sparc I'd unfortunately have a hard time even understanding whether a simple boot test on some machine will actually trigger what I wanted to test :( -- Cheers David / dhildenb
