OK.

The procedure in the past (as I saw it at least) was: - Joey would check for changes in x86, thereby also catching most/all general changes and make changes necessary for that. After making sure x86 built, kernel-wedge would just be uploaded (and x86 udebs too). - Then he or I would request porters to do their own arches. In some cases that would require extra changes in kernel-wedge, which would either be done by the porter himself, or with help from (mostly) Joey. - Additional kernel-wedge uploads would be done as needed.
Note that for some arches there has not been a great involvement from porters and I've done the last updates for sparc, hppa and s390 myself. Which was possible as those are relatively stable arches, sometimes with some help on IRC from porters.

AFAICT it's not really "fixed". Both architectures still run on only one buildd and that can barely keep up. Both still have a huge backlog of 500+ packages.
