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?
