Hey, This discussion is also related to https://github.com/RIOT-OS/RIOT/pull/5412#issuecomment-237688208 I'm trying to enhance support for ek-lm4fxl-120 board, which is not as popular as stm boards... It's a bit complicated to find reviewers with some extra time for reviewing, and even more for hardware testing...
Would it be possible to have an in-between set of boards (between "well supported/tested" and "in the trash") ? Where reviewers could omit the hardware tests for example and rely on the "community" to do such tests ? I must admit that having to spend several weeks for each small PR is a bit frustrating, but I fully understand that nobody really cares about this board. If this is not possible, then maybe you're right and boards that can't be maintained should be ditched. People can still maintain their own fork (what I'll probably do for TivaC board).
