Hi, Most of the responses in this thread have been positive. Based on the discussion so far, can we proceed with adding s390x and ppc64le support to Apache Maven GitHub Actions? For reference, the onboarding documentation is available here: https://github.com/IBM/actionspz/blob/main/docs/FAQ.md It outlines the required steps for moving forward. I would be more than happy to assist if anything else is needed from our end.
