I have a long list of things on my to do list.  RISC-V is a new
target, and there is lots of stuff that needs to be bug fixed,
finished, or added.  I can't make any guarantees.

But if you file a bug report and then attach a patch to it, someone
might volunteer to help finish it.  Or if it is too big to be
reasonably attached to a bug report (like the nano mips work) you
could put it on a branch, and mention the branch name as unfinished
work in a bug report.
