Thanks for the heads up. We're still maintaining Nios II support in other components like GCC for now, but I am not sure whether it makes any sense for us to take on QEMU too at this point. I'll raise the issue, anyway. -Sandra

Marek and Chris haven't been active for Nios II since years (the last time seems to have been in 2017), and we've got unhandled severe Nios II bug tickets in the bug tracker since a long time, so to avoid wrong expectations of people who are looking at the MAINTAINERS file, it's maybe best to mark the Nios II entry as orphan nowadays.
