Hello everyone! I am working on implementing a tool to assess the complexity of CPU architecture porting. It primarily focuses on RISC-V architecture porting. In fact, it can be estimated on average across various architectures.My focus is on the overall workload and difficulty of transplantation in the past and future，even though a project had done the porting work.As part of my dataset, I have collected the KiCad project. I would like to gather community opinions to support my assessment. I appreciate your help and response! Based on scanning tools, the porting complexity is determined to be high, with a moderate amount of code related to the CPU architecture in the project. What kind of developer configuration or team setup do you think is needed, and how much time will it take? (referring to the overall workload from adapting the project to a specific architecture to achieving full functionality on that architecture). Is this assessment accurate? I look forward to your help and response.

This is not KiCad specific and you have asked elsewhere to demonstrate that.
