Note - those lists of targets were intended to cover the vast majority 
of targets supported by binutils, even those without maintainers.  The 
intention was to make sure that global changes did not break anything, 
even unmaintained ports.

This could be deduced from the list of maintainers in the 
binutils/MAINTAINERS file.
