Do you want to step up and help maintain these platforms ?
The real problem is maintainer overload and that's what this solves, it
reduces the workload on maintainers. The legacy code needs to be updated
and retested, and it seems there's just no interest in that. If there is
someone who's willing to stick around for some time and take care of
those platforms, great.
