The status of each port should be discussed directly with the
corresponding porters. On the debian-ports side, we basically host the
ports provided they are more or less maintained, useful to at least
some people and that there are no legal issue. We do not have other
criteria like the release team.

Removing mips from the list of official ports is wrong.

As of Debian 10 mips is an official release architecture that will
continue to be supported in this release.

For our users the most relevant information is what is supported in the 
current stable release, not whatever changes might happen in future 
releases.

Release architectures for Debian 11 are not yet decided, further changes 
might happen and in theory it is even possible that someone starts 
working on keeping mips as release architecture.

It has happened before that a port was discontinued but later restarted
by other people.

This list does not contain all ports that autobuild unstable as of 
today, and the status of several ports is incorrect.
The current non-release architectures are the "Hosted Architectures"
listed at https://www.ports.debian.org/

"discontinued" and "dead" seem to be different words for the same.

"in progress" is poor wording for ports that are not aiming at 
(again) becoming release architectures, the most common term
I am aware of would be "non-release architecture".

ftpmas...@ports-master.debian.org (added to Cc) is the correct contact 
for discussing the status of ports that are not part of Debian 10.

Package: www.debian.org
Severity: |wishlist Tags: newcomer |

Dear Webmaster Team,
Dear all,

Some contents needs to be reviewed on the portages Debian web page [1] like as 
dead links or old contents/descriptions.

I've already start the work by cleaning the 301 links to their new location.

As help, we can use the build logs of the website section urlcheck/ports [2].

Tasks can be get by multiple people and appropriate for newcomer.
For coordination please send an email to the webmaster team [3].
Also, you can join #debian-www chanel on IRC (OFTC Network) [4].

The source code of the Debian Website is availaible on Debian Salsa repository 
[5].
If you don't have write access to this repository, you can fork it in your own 
Salsa home, and create merge-request to review.
Debian Salsa is based on Gitlab. If you are not familiar with Salsa, take a 
look on this Wiki page [6] and don't hesitate to ask for help.
