i have no easy way to test loongarch, what i can test is qemu-mips.
i think i have said that a few times already.

I do have a loongson box that is IIRC ready to be shipped (within EU) to
whoever volunteers to maintain that box for FFmpeg. I dont know if that
box would help with the current code. The OS will liklely need to be updated
and IIRC this has no normal update mechanism) I didnt touch this box for a
really long time.

I apply loongarch patches when they are reviewed and approved by the loongson
maintainers.
I do test that they do not break qemu-mips and give them a quick look also
so they dont contains obvious mistakes like changing non mips things

about patchwork, please talk with Andriy.
If you want to help maintain patchwork and or look into that yourself,
again talk with Andriy.
Also paul on IRC said Andriy left ffmpeg, i havent heared anything from
Andriy in that direction. So this may be a joke from paul i do not know

thx
