Hi,
> Name
debian-riscv
(Since the ISA name is RISC-V, it could be "debian-risc-v", but I think that
"debian-riscv" is better and follows the pattern of lists for other ports,
merging the different words in the architecture name in a single alphanum
string)
> Rationale
As it is the case of lists for other ports, this list will be used to discuss,
track progress and report problems building packages in this architecture.
If this architecture is successful, it is possible that there will be different
ports for different flavours of the architecture over time (similar to mips*,
arm*, powerpc*, etc.). In principle this list can accomodate all of them.

(You can drop the "(s)" if you don't like it, or for consistency with other
lists).
> Long description
Discussions on the RISC-V port(s) of Debian -- https://wiki.debian.org/RISC-V
(I did not include "GNU/Linux", as other lists of ports do, because it
conceivably could have other kernels as base, e.g. FreeBSD and NetBSD already
support this architecture upstream, before Linux. It is not my intention to
create ports with non-Linux kernels, and if somebody wants perhaps they would
like to use other list for that, but commenting just in case that somebody
prefers to include this in the description: please speak up).

Marco and Paul (in CC) expressed their interest, so I expect that they will
reply seconding the request.
Cheers.
