Re: Testing Call frame information in .debug_frame section

IIUC, GDB can use this information when it is available and when the
target requests the use of the DWARF frame sniffer.  Look for calls to
dwarf2_append_unwinders; this will tell you which targets are already
capable of using it.

You have to ping patches, not just for binutils but also gdb and gcc.
It isn't a great system but it does have its advantages.

One or two weeks after an initial submission, if there has been no
answer, just send a ping message as a follow-up to your patch.  Then do
it every week.
