    No, you are not maintaining powerpcspe as a release architecture, and that's something different than building packages for some of the ports architectures.
    If you can get powerpcspe accepted as a release architecture, then maybe you gain some credibility to maintain another release architecture ;)

    So, what are the criteria to be knighted to become a maintainer of powerpc?

    I have not heard from the ppc64el porters, but I suspect ppc64 will
    not be a release arch. So you need to take into consideration that for powerpc to remain a release arch, one need minimal working ppc64 port. Could we solve the situation of ppc64 for Stretch, could it be moved
    to official release arch ?

    What would you need ppc64 for?  Unlike i386, powerpc includes 64-bit kernels so users don't need multiarch:
    [...]

    This is only the case because ppc64 has a lower level of support
    (unofficial port) than powerpc (release architecture).  The 64-bit
    kernel package should be dropped once powerpc is at the same or lower
    level of support than ppc64 - just as we've done for i386, s390 and
    sparc.
