I'd be happy to pick up powerpc to keep it for Stretch. I'm already
maintaining powerpcspe which is very similar to powerpc.

Thanks to all that replied to the roll call.

We got replies from all architectures except amd64 (Waived), i386
(Waived) and powerpc (problematic).  For the ports that replied, all had
at least 2 or more porters.
  We also got a parallel update from Matthias Klose on the toolchain
state[1].  Based on these we have updated the current state of the
architecture qualification for Stretch[2].

 * Please check that your name is listed as a porter on [2] (see [3]
   for how).  If I missed you, please do not hesitate to let me know.

 * For powerpc, mips and mipsel: Please note that we have added a
   (potentially) blocking issues for your architecture.
   - powerpc: No porter (RM blocker)
   - mips+mipsel: #834147 (RM concern, possibly blocker)


As for the piggy backed question about PIE by default:

 * arm64: 2 OK, 1 did not mention it
 * armel: 3 OK, 1 OK if tested first, 1 was neutral and 1 did not
   mention it
 * armhf: 4 OK, 1 OK if tested first, 1 was neutral and 2 did not
   mention it
 * mips+mipsel+mips64el: 3 OK, 1 OK later, 4 did not mention it.
 * ppc64el: 3 OK, 1 recommended further testing/research
 * s390x: 2 OK

Over all, most people (who answered it) was positive towards the switch.
 Based on this, I suspect that if we make PIE default in Stretch, then
we will do it for all architectures.  That said, you will be notified if
that default changes for Stretch.

Thanks,
~Niels
