I was a part of the team that contributed a few of the ports actually. For example, you can take a look at vm_mips64.dasc file header for the contributor list.

Though, it is possible that he changed his mind after having to review thousands of lines of assembly written by 25 year olds. :)

Kudos! Was it difficult to get it accepted? I've seen ports rejected.

To be honest, I forgot because it was quite some time ago. But I don't think we had any difficulties in that regard. I do remember being quite worried that it will not be good enough. In the time I started working on it, Mike sent a brutal email to a person trying to do PPC64 port (https://www.freelists.org/post/luajit/PPC64le-port-status,1).

LOL, vicious! I don’t feel sorry for them though — I learned a lot by getting a few harsh corrections when I was a young lad trying to run with bigger dogs.
