If anyone is interested in helping with the SuperH Linux port, the following are probably the most important issues that need to be fixed. glibc: + Inconsistent behavior when handling FPSCR on SH: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27543 gdb: + Upstream support for linux-sh: https://git...

I'm still checking the details how to account such type of income. From what I've seen so far, Open Collective and its implied expectations (public expense tracking??!) sounds and looks like an administrative burden for me. So I haven't decided yet.

I've never used OpenCollective before but I'd be up for supporting whatever gets chosen. Yes, it worked very well for the other architect...

Hello, my name is Adrian and I'm both the upstream maintainer SuperH support in the Linux kernel as well as the maintainer of Debian's sh4 port. I have been made aware of this forum by the fantastic FOSDEM talk by Falco Girgis [1] who gave a unique insight into all the work people in this community ...
