Sato-san is the current H8/300 arch maintainer and introduced the original sh2 support in Linux. I am working on the software side of the J-Core project reviving the sh arch as open hardware (see https://lwn.net/Articles/647636/), and am also the maintainer of musl libc. We plan to transition arch/sh from legacy board support files to device tree, clean up infrastructure that was previously arch-specific but which has since been replaced with arch-generic solutions elsewhere in the kernel, and add support for new hardware, specifically the J2 and future J-Core processors and SOC devices.
