[maint] New architecture committers

Hello,

(I think I've been careful in first raising this core maintainers, and 
the people listed below, and finally even given the architecture 
maintainers a heads up)

I'm looking to add the following as developers that are free to commit 
changes to their respective architecture with out waiting or needing 
approval:

+       Randolph Chung (pa)
+       Jeff Johnston (ia64)
+       Kei Sakamoto (m32r)
+       Joel Brobecker (mips)
+       Ulrich Weigand (s390)

(Although if there's anything truly controversial I'm sure they'll post 
an RFC instead :-).

To point out the obvious, there's nothing saying that it is only their 
changes that they can commit.  Provided they are careful with 
assignments (I'd go by people listed under write-after-approval) they 
can technically commit (and therefor in effect approve) patches from 
others (this actually the same mechanism that allows core developers to 
commit/approve patches).

However, they're also not technically "maintaining" these architectures 
(i.e., solely responsible for patch review, etc), that ultimately 
falling to core maintainers, thence me.  Since these are all active 
developers I don't see myself doing much work :-)

Any thoughts?  Congratulations!!  I guess I now twiddle my thumbs for a 
week before committing :-)

Andrew
