So, this sort of appeared after a casual bit of discussion the other
day. I hadn't really dug into what was desired here yet. :)

That said....

We have: 

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures

It's less out of date that I thought it was, but it is still a bit
confusing. Mostly around 'alternative' arches (there's two kinds: those
in the primary koji and those not.).

I'd like to overhall it and move it into docs.fedoraproject.org (I guess
under fesco policy?).

I don't think primary vs alternative arches make much sense as terms, or
at least as they are currently defined. I'd suggest:

primary arches - those arches that are build in the main fedora koji.

alternative arches - those arches not built in the main fedora koji

but perhaps we need more distinction on alternative, because we have
things that are just stood up by some folks in the community and could
be one off efforts (I recompiled a bunch of stuff on $foo arch), or a
community group stands up their own koji and builds things ongoing, or
(as riscv is now) a infra managed koji is setup and community folks
build things in an ongoing way and work to get parity with primary.

Of course there's even more shades in there, for example, right now the
risc-v koji is using community builders because we don't have any
dedicated ones yet. Having those would be requirement before trying to
promote it to the main koji.

Additionally, we have Architecture Maintainer Teams defined there.
There are still ppc64le, s390x, aarch64 specific maintainers around who
handle rare corner cases, but do we still want to have all those
requirements and responsiblities for them? and/or should that only be
for 'up and coming' arches? Some things make no sense anymore like
regular meetings on irc. ;)
