I was never very clear on how much use moxie had to start with...

An extremely rough-and-ready guide to how well-loved a target
is might be "did it get converted to TranslatorOps?". Unconverted:
 * avr
 * cris
 * lm32 (deprecation in progress)
 * microblaze (rth just posted patches for this)
 * moxie
 * nios2
 * tilegx (deprecation in progress)
 * unicore32 (deprecation in progress)

As I say, very rough-and-ready: we have had recent interest in nios2;
avr has just got into the tree so hopefully the maintainer will have
a look at TranslatorOps conversion; Edgar is still around for cris.

I think dropping the moxie maintainer an email to ask about the
architecture's status wouldn't be a bad idea if you wanted to start
that ball rolling.
