For QEMU the situation is:
commit 1fa639e5618029e944ac68d27e32a99dcb85a349

MAINTAINERS: Orphan MIPS KVM CPUs
I haven't been active for 18 months, and don't have the hardware
set up to test KVM for MIPS, so mark it as orphaned and remove
myself as maintainer. Hopefully somebody from MIPS can pick this
up.

MAINTAINERS: Adjust MIPS maintainership (add Huacai & Jiaxun)
Huacai Chen and Jiaxun Yang step in as new energy.

MAINTAINERS: Remove myself
I have been working on project other than QEMU for some time,
and would like to devote myself to that project. It is impossible
for me to find enough time to perform maintainer's duties with
needed meticulousness and patience.
I don't have local hardware to test KVM. We have plan to add VZ testing
on Loongson hardware. For the rest I'll defer on Huacai and Jiaxun,
as long as it is useful to them, it is not a big burden for QEMU.
(IOW +1 for TE removal.)
Regards,
Phil.
