Philippe is MIPS maintainer and he was involved and reviewed most patches. 
Huacai did not respond much and Jiaxun's email adress is constantly 
stripped by the list so whenrver I add him it will be lost the next time. 
He seems to be more interested in Fuloong 3 anyway so did not respond much 
either.

All in all I think there's just not enough interest in these 
machines/devices so my stance is that if it does not break anything just 
take it now and then we'll have enough time for further review, fixing or 
reverting during the freeze. Whereas if this is kept pushing back then 
nothing will happen with them for the next 2-3 months then we'll be back 
to here and miss the next release as well.
