Mostly because there is an entirely seperate mailing list for MIPS issues.
You'll find a quite active list that is so prestegious<g> there are guys
that work the MIPS Technologies (The MIPS people :-) ) on it. You might even
want to check in on it. The MIPS arch is actually quite nice. It has
generally good FP performance, a large pool of general use registers, and many
other really convenient attributes. You can join the list by sending a
mail to majordomo@oss.sgi.com with

subscribe linux-mips your@email.address

in the body.
