here some information from KiBi:

<KiBi> nomeata: Setting Architecture: properly isn't sufficient, you also need to be in nfu or pas.
<nomeata> KiBi: and which one is the “correct” solution?
<KiBi> depends. IMHO, for something that might be transient, nfu. pas otherwise.
<KiBi> You can easily ask a buildd maintainer to add/remove stuff from not-for-us
<KiBi> for p-a-s, you have to get to the wb admins AFAICT
<KiBi> Like “maybe your arch just got support for foo, please try a build” → easy when in nfu, not when in pas.
<KiBi> (please bear in mind I'm still new. ;p)
<nomeata> thx, I’ll forward that to the maintainer

Greetings,
Joachim
