In thinking about this a bit further, I realize that the issue is 
complicated by the fact that binutils is part of the whole src/ 
repository.  A branch created just in the binutils portion might be 
confusing, and, in any case, doing something like a new assembler port 
requires changes to other parts of the tree as well to support new 
opcodes and such.  I'm happy to go ahead with the binutils/MAINTAINERS 
changes, but I wonder if we should get some kind of more global policy 
set for the entire src/ repository.  Thoughts?
