31 Also let's see the CIA activity of the MIPS team for last month:
32 kumba: 3 commits
33 cristel: 0 commits
34 iluxa: 0 commits
35 peitolm: 1 commit
36 psi29: 0 commits
37 rbrown: 26 commits (None of the commits listed on the page reference mips)
38 redhatter: 6 commits (Finally some commits mentioning mips)
39 spb: 1 commit
40
41 From this I would say the mips team is pretty much inactive.
