Hi,

I imagine most people hanging around netbsd do know what RISC-V is.
Even going over the list of contributors to RISC-V, you'll find some
familiar names.

NetBSD doesn't have a full RISC-V port yet because it is difficult to
create a new port and takes time, and people might not have the free
time & energy to work on it, or rank other things as more important to
them personally.

zmcgrew is doing a lot of work on it, but it is still not complete. Help
is welcome, of course.
