Reactivate MIPS KVM maintainership with a modest goal of keeping
the support alive, checking common KVM code changes against MIPS
functionality, etc. (hence the status "Odd Fixes"), with hope that
this component will be fully maintained at some further, but not
distant point in future.

I talked with Aleksandar several times about maintainership and I 
think he is the right person for the job stepping up as maintainer.

My only worry here is, do you have hardware to run tests?

Agreed.

BTW are you sure you want to remove Aleksandar Rikalo as reviewer?
(There is no description about this change.)

Aleksandar Rikalo is an experienced engineer very familiar
with QEMU, and he is helping reviewing many other areas of
QEMU for MIPS - however, his main day-to-day duties currently
involve projects other than QEMU, and he is not sure if he will
manage to get enough time to devote to KVM/MIPS. I talked to
him too about the whole situation. If the current situation
changes (he gets more time), and he wishes to participate,
he will be welcomed, and we can add him easily.

Thank you,
Aleksandar

Yes, I do have access to the appropriate MIPS hardware.

Thank you,

Great news :)

This is something to consider when we add more GitLab CI runners (for 
automated testing).
