The domain lookup for linux-mips.org fails for quite some time now.
Hence, webpages, the patchwork instance and Ralf Baechle's email there is
not reachable anymore.

 I have been contacted by Ralf a couple of weeks ago and he told me there
had been a storage failure with the machine running linux-mips.org.

 Due to a complex situation with linux-mips.org I do not want to dive the
details of into here recovery of the site caused some trouble, however I
was told it had been under way now.  So I suggest that we wait a couple of
weeks yet and see how it goes before going ahead with this series.

 As to Ralf personal commitments WRT maintenance duties I can't speak, but
I have bcc-ed him on his alternative e-mail address with this message in
case he wants to speak up.

Thanks for the update. Maybe we can then rescue some of the valuable
content from linux-mips.org and mirror it somewhere else as well?

The code mentioned some patch by referring to a linux-mips.org
patchwork id, but without the service running, there is no chance to
understand the comment. So, once linux-mips.org is up and running
again, we might want to recover that referred patch and change the
comment to a lore.kernel.org Link (that may stay with us for longer)
or quickly find out if that comment is obsolete by now.
