I think we are looking at this problem the wrong way. Why not define
what is needed to be a major arch and a minor arch (~arch only). Then
drop a marjor arch to a minor arch if they don't meet the requirement. 

For example, we could define a major as having an arch lead, 3 active devs 
(commited to the cvs tree in the last xyz number of days), etc

I've been trying to get more involved with ia64, sparc, ppc, ppc64 so my
vote is to keep those arch as a major arch. I'd be willing to help out
ago mark ebuilds stable but as others have pointed out he does such a good
job, its hard to compete with him ;)
