Well, the quote from ./MAINTAINERS - as nice as it may sound - still doesn't
help in practice: E.g. me approving the change for binutils-gdb doesn't help
at all, because in order to get the gcc counterpart updated you need
approval there. Yet once the gcc counterpart was updated, sync-ing out copy
imo wouldn't require any approval anymore.
So for formality's sake: Okay for binutils-gdb once approved for gcc.
