Next release

[Tristan Gingold]

I am volunteer to make binutils releases unless someone else is.

Not sure I am the best one to take this job as I don't have much
experience about making releases and about binutils.

But we (=AdaCore) rely on binutils for many targets, we have already
made a few contributions.  We also think that releasing periodically
is important for a project (quality, testing and visibility).

Tristan.
