I still care about RISC-V unlike IA-64.  I also still read some of the
RISC-V mailing lists.  So I can be a backup maintainer for RISC-V if
that is useful.  I can not be the primary maintainer.  That should be
Nelson Chu, at least last time I checked.  Andrew Waterman wrote the
original port, but I don't think that he has contributed in a long time
and he is probably not following the binutils mailing list.  Palmer
Dabbelt mostly works on other projects but is a reasonable backup to
Nelson, and then I can back up Palmer if necessary.

As for GCC, I should not be primary maintainer for anything, but I
don't think that I am.  I did resign as GCC IA-64 maintainer a few
years ago.  I just forgot to do that for Binutils at the same time.

To better state my current status, I retired and decided to take some
time off from GNU toolchain work.  I figured when I started getting
bored I would return.  But that was almost 4 years ago, and I haven't
gotten bored enough yet.  I'm still thinking I will return at some
point, but I have no idea when.

Jim
