I think talking to the RISC-V back-end (@asb) **over email** owner would be one option and seeing if he's willing to back this, along with some official endorsement from downstream. There weren't many responses on the mailing lists from within the LLVM community and while you can bring the topic up again, I think the best course of action would be getting some support from downstream showing that there is a reasonable amount of interest in this backend within the Debian community (I assume there is since your CI is based there) as well as talking to @asb and getting his endorsement (seems to be the most suitable back-end similarity-wise). Other things that would help is showing that you've been keeping it up to date with the current development trunk of LLVM (I presume it is hosted downstream with Debian?). I'm sorry, I can't really give you anymore advice than this. Chandler has outlined the issue very well, in that code owners for back-ends have a huge responsibility since LLVM development moves at a fast pace and it's their responsibility their back-end doesn't break or end up causing build failures and other disruptions because of any affiliated people being absent, at which point it may flat out get removed. Unless you have worked things out this diff isn't really the place to discuss this, but I hope the advice is of some help.

Thank you.
