Hi Andrew,

Thanks very much for submitting these patches. Before going any further
though, I have to ask: do all of the authors of these patches have FSF
binutils copyright assignments in place ? I see that SiFive have an
assignment, but are there any other authors involved in this work, and if
so, do they have copyright assignments ?
The next question is: is someone volunteering to be a maintainer for this
port ? A port without a maintainer is likely to bit-rot and eventually be
rendered obsolete. On the other hand volunteering to be a maintainer
should not be taken lightly as it does involve a commitment.
Lastly - are there publicly available documents describing the RISC-V ISA ?
It is handy to be able to refer to these if any questions arise about the
accuracy of the port.
I hope that these questions - and the patch reviews to follow - do not
put you off, and thanks once again for contributing to the binutils.
Cheers
Nick Clifton
