I think the problem is that so far nobody feels responsible for systematically mainlining the code. There are some patches here and there, but usually you cannot build a useful and working U-Boot image from the existing mainline code. > If they don't want to maintain their socfpga in mainline and Marek > wants to do it I will definitely support Marek in this new possition > to get things done properly but also I just want to make sure that > this is really happen and isn't it just the part of misunderstanding > how u-boot community is working.

You are right - the repository is just one necessary step. A custodian who knows how the community works and who is willing to collect patches and synchronize efforts is also needed - this is where Marek volunteered for now. If someone from Altera is willing to take over, such a switch would be trivial to perform.
