Digging in the past isn't very helpful, but there one thing I'd like

Don't. The release team folks are not politicians who get convinced by

To say that no one stepped forward is not true. Adrian stepped up and asked to
be the porter for PowerPC. There was an entire thread on PowerPC qualifying for
Stretch where he stated his desire to support it. In the end his request was
turned down.

Keep it down. From an outsider's point of view the decision is more
than understandable. Their interest is only "are there enough people
willing to support powerpc?", and the indications were pretty

There are some architectures which have once been release architectures
but are now 'only' available in sid. E.g. alpha (slink to lenny), hppa
(woody to lenny) or m68k (hamm to etch). The only architecture I see
which once was release but I am unable to find in sid is ia64.[0]
In summary: PowerPC
There is some hope then...
