Thanks for sending this and taking the lead on RISC-V -- I appreciate
you put me as the author, but in this case, it was actually Gary that
started the RISC-V port [1], and then I sent three PRs on top later
on.

When submitting something on behalf of somebody else, I suggest being
very careful and ideally contacting the authors beforehand. In
particular, if there has been any modification (including to the
commit message), then a note should be added explaining so.

Therefore, please double-check everybody that contributed to the lines
you are sending (e.g. via `git-blame`) and add them as
`Co-developed-by`. Also, please add a note of what you changed/wrote
e.g. square brackets, and `Link` tags to the original PRs/discussions.

See, for instance, what Jamie did at [2] for arm64 or Lina at [3].
