For routine bug fixes, cleanups, fixes for changes to generic code or
otherwise for consistency with other architectures and fixes for broken
build, I'd be happy to treat silence as consensus in the case of orphaned
architectures. For more substantial changes including any new optimized
functions, I think we should expect actual review or the submitter
stepping forward as a new architecture maintainer and getting consensus
for that role.
