I'll gladly do this but I thought that the patch needs to be approved first.
Secondly, I have signed no copyright assignment for GDB (maybe this change is
small enough not to need it). Finally the CONTRIBUTE file doesn't ask for
documentation to be included when submitting a patch.
Perhaps I've used the wrong subject header and it looks like the patch has
already been committed. My impression now is that:
RFC is for maintainers who ask for comments before committing their own patch.
RFA is for those with write after approval.
commit is for a patch that has been committed.
and, rather oddly
PATCH seems, generally, to be for a commit also.
Most people who post to this list have some kind of write access to the
repository. What subject header should someone without write authority use
when submitting a patch? Some projects have a patch database as well as one
for bugs. Would this be a good idea for GDB?
