binutils/MAINTAINERS

   1                 ========= Binutils Maintainers =========
   2
   3 This is the list of individuals responsible for maintenance and update
   4 of the GNU Binary Utilities project.  This includes the linker (ld),
   5 the assembler (gas), the profiler (gprof), a whole suite of other
   6 programs (binutils) and the libraries that they use (bfd and
   7 opcodes).  This project shares a common set of header files with the
   8 GCC and GDB projects (include), so maintainership of those files is
   9 shared amoungst the projects.
  10
  11 The home page for binutils is:
  12
  13   http://www.gnu.org/software/binutils/binutils.html
  14
  15 and patches should be sent to:
  16
  17   bug-binutils@gnu.org
  18
  19 with "[Patch]" as part of the subject line.  Note - patches to the
  20 top level configure.in and config.sub scripts should be sent to:
  21
  22   config-patches@gnu.org
  23
  24 and not to the binutils list.
  25
  26                 --------- Blanket Write Privs ---------
  27
  28 The following people have permission to check patches into the
  29 repository without obtaining approval first:
  30
  31   Nick Clifton <nickc@redhat.com> (head maintainer)
  32   Richard Henderson <rth@redhat.com>
  33   Ian Taylor <ian@zembu.com>
  34   Jeff Law <law@redhat.com>
  35   Jim Wilson <wilson@redhat.com>
  36   DJ Delorie <dj@redhat.com>
  37   Alan Modra <amodra@bigpond.net.au>
  38   Michael Meissner <meissner@redhat.com>
  39
  40       --------- Maintainers ---------
  41
  42 Maintainers are individuals who are responsible for, and have
  43 permission to check in changes in, certain subsets of the code.  Note
  44 that maintainers still need approval to check in changes outside of
  45 the immediate domain that they maintain.
  46
  47 If there is no maintainer for a given domain then the responsibility
  48 falls to the head maintainer (above).  If there are several
  49 maintainers for a given domain then responsibility falls to the first
  50 maintainer.  The first maintainer is free to devolve that
  51 responsibility among the other maintainers.

  82       --------- CGEN Maintainers -------------
  83
  84 CGEN is a tool for building, amongst other things, assemblers,
  85 disassemblers and simulators from a single description of a CPU.
  86 It creates files in several of the binutils directories, but it
  87 is mentioned here since there is a single group that maintains
  88 CGEN and the files that it creates.
  89
  90 If you have CGEN related problems you can send email to;
  91
  92    cgen@sources.redhat.com
  93
  94 The current CGEN maintainers are:
  95
  96   Doug Evans, Ben Elliston, Frank Eigler
  97
  98      --------- Write After Approval ---------
  99
 100 Individuals with "write after approval" have the ability to check in
 101 changes, but they must get approval for each change from someone in
 102 one of the above lists (blanket write or maintainers).
 103
 104 [It's a huge list, folks.  You know who you are.  If you have the
 105  *ability* to do binutils checkins, you're in this group.  Just
 106  remember to get approval before checking anything in.]
 107
 108      -------------  Obvious Fixes -------------
 109
 110 Fixes for obvious mistakes do not need approval, and can be checked in
 111 right away, but the patch should still be sent to the binutils list.
 112 The definition of obvious is a bit hazy, and if you are not sure, then
 113 you should seek approval first.  Obvious fixes include fixes for
 114 spelling mistakes, blatantly incorrect code (where the correct code is
 115 also blatantly obvious), and so on.  Obvious fixes should always be
 116 small, the larger they are, the more likely it is that they contain
 117 some un-obvious side effect or consequence.
 118
 119     --------- Branch Checkins ---------
 120
 121 If a patch is approved for check in to the mainline sources, it can
 122 also be checked into the current release branch.  Normally however
 123 only bug fixes should be applied to the branch.  New features, new
 124 ports, etc, should be restricted to the mainline.  (Otherwise the
 125 burden of maintaining the branch in sync with the mainline becomes too
 126 great).  If you are uncertain as to whether a patch is appropriate for
 127 the branch, ask the branch maintainer.  This is:
