I CCed Jeff who is on the commitee to forward the maintainer proposal
though I guess this will not go forward as a first step. Instead
you are probably expected to show activity on the port, for example
post the patch series to make ia64 use LRA, get write access to the
git repository and then be promoted maintainer.
One other method for showing activity is posting regular testsuite
results on the gcc-testresults mailing list to show the community
the port is "working".
I don't want to spam this or the other list each and every week, but I
am since a while cross-compiling each Linux mainline RC and release with
the latest gcc-14 snapshot available each time and test the result on a
variety of real machines and on the HP Sim platform in Ski (since
recently). And since doing that I haven't seen any new ICEs since I
reported [1].

Something similar is done automatically for the Linux stable RC and
releases but with a fixed gcc-13.2.0 cross-compiler (provided by Arnd
Bergmann on [2]) on GitHub, including a test run in Ski, see for example
[3].

Both are surely not as extensive as a testsuite run, but give a good
preview I think: it's working for what we are doing with these machines,
thanks for asking.
Cheers,
