Hi Kyösti, I can set up a branch and a builder for this work or you could do it on the existing 4.18 branch. Let me know what you need.
The latest branch where AGESA boards were present, 4.18 sounds right. Self-approval and submitting even though jenkins flags failures would likely become necessary. I would probably remove all "unnecessary" platforms to ease up the work on builders, so a new branch would be my choice.
The SFC and coreboot should be able to accept donations earmarked for a particular project and pay out those expenses if you were looking to get funding from individuals as well as other sources. I've started a conversation with the SFC about how that would work.
I dont consider SFC as an option. I believe this was discussed with DavidH briefly back in March 2021 -- about the same time when leadership meetings had considered some funding to voluntary reviewers. AFAICS this is merely a theoretical possibility, in practice persons signing/approving invoices towards SFC do not have the resources to participate in the reviews, thus invoices based on hourly rates are sort of not easily measurable when no new features get added.
