What kind of resources are available? SPARC as a secondary arch needs
at least 1 probably more people to do pretty much full time work on it.
buildserver wise we only have a T2000 thats useable, the T1000 randomly
drops to OBP.  maybe you can drop into #fedora-sparc on freenode and we
could discuss what is needed?
