As far as I know, two companies have contributed code. They are Lemote
and Loongson. They both signed OCA in 2016.

Including two years, I started to try to contributed the code to the
community:-) In addition to waiting, what do you suggest me to do?

We can discuss this after your vacation. Thanks, and have a nice vacation!
