No, I'm not  a maintainer of officially supported boards. Unfortunately, 
we're having non-mainlined private boards only. And my entry as socfpga 
maintainer/co-custodioan has just been aded now ;-)

However, given the many companies out there using embedded Linux 
nowadays, I expect many such boards exist. Any while I understand we 
don't want to go into too much trouble of supporting such boards, I do 
think maintainers of such boards should be made aware of that list, too.

I guess we could note it in the toplevel README file, but finding it on 
denx.de would certainly help, too.
