Happy bayram to all (celebrating Festival of Sacrifice / Eid al-Adha),

Thanks for keeping up a credits file!
I would like to see something added like "Fixes and testing for mips
arch" in my credits section [1].

What about a MAINTAINERS file like in the Linux kernel development?

What is the status of the various archs for ltrace-0.7.0?
Is there a file shipped in the GIT tree listing such an information?

Thanks for all the people contributing to ltrace-0.7.0git!

Kind Regards,
