On 2018-01-14 meeting, the Council has decided that adding any new arch to Gentoo must be preceded by an RFC to gentoo-dev@ and creation of project page. At the same time, the Council has decided that existing arches that do not have a corresponding Gentoo project have one month (i.e. until the next Council meeting) to fulfill this requirement. The nios2 & riscv arches do not currently have a backing project. Furthermore, AFAICS there is not a single package in Gentoo having those keywords. If you are planning to continue working on support for those architectures within Gentoo, then please create a backing project for each of them separately, including the necessary mail alias and RFC to gentoo-dev@. Otherwise, please remove them from arch.list along with the relevant profile changes.
Unfortunately I missed that myself, but... The author of glibc risc-v support (which was merged in glibc-2.27) visited the FOSDEM Gentoo booth and asked about becoming a Gentoo developer. I've left a message with willikins and will also write an e-mail in a bit, and hope to hear back from him. So, please keep risc-v on hold for the moment.
