 Please note however that in top-level MAINTAINERS we have this:

intl/; config.rhost; libiberty/; libiberty's part of include/;
compile; depcomp; install-sh; missing; ylwrap; config/; libbacktrace
	gcc: http://gcc.gnu.org
	Changes need to be done in tandem with the official GCC
	sources or submitted to the master file maintainer and brought
	in via a merge.  Note: approved patches in gcc's libiberty or
	intl are automatically approved in this libiberty and intl also;
	feel free to merge them yourself if needed sooner than the next
	merge.  Otherwise, changes are automatically merged, usually
	within a day.

Do we need to update the statement to match reality, i.e. that changes 
aren't automatically merged anymore and that the two copies have diverged 
from each other?  Or would it make sense to work towards re-establishing 
our old quality standard instead?
