Yes.
I’m specifically asking to do {,E}LTS for armel one last time
because it’s a release architecture for trixie and users now
cannot just upgrade to the next release.
Unfortunately I cannot offer funding, as a private individual…
If indeed underfunded you could at least run the buildds for
armel as well for those fixes that are applied for the other
arches. This would not catch armel-specific issues, but be
better than nothing.
(Considering it’s dropped from sid, obtaining enough buildd
capacity for trixie shouldn’t be an issue either.)

Some 2/3 models can run armhf but not arm64, but, yes, this is
a model 1 I got as a gift because it was not in use, and to
prevent, again, e-waste. It runs good enough…
