I'm one of those people. I compile thousands of open source packages on VAX, m68k, SuperH and other less popular architectures. I think I know at least a bit about how much of this "maintenance" is repeated-but-not-substantiated bull and how much is real. Claiming that actual maintainers spend more than trivial amounts of time on "maintaining" endianness correctness, I think, is somewhat disrespectful to those maintainers.
