The official guidelines on what it takes to add official support for a platform is https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0011/#supporting-platforms. Basically it's a core dev willing to sponsor and maintain the work, a buildbot, and implicitly at least a 5 year commitment.

It would also require a maintainer and a maintenance promise for several years (5 or 10? I don't know). I doubt any other core developers are interested in/equipped for dealing with EDK2 issues, regressions and subtleties. > You can start now by submitting pull requests for the header fixes.
