[maint] GDB needs more local maintainers

You appear to be suggesting that I've dropped the buck :-(

I had strong reservations about including certain details in my response 
to David.  I even considered omiting certain information.  However, I 
decided it was in this lists interest to provide as honest a response as 
possible.  Unfortunatly, the post received the somewhat predictable 
comments:

As I've already noted, that thread re-raised some issues of concern (one 
being non-responsive maintainers) and I am following them through.  This 
takes time and a little appreciation of that would be helpful.

(Again, recall that I sent out an e-mail to the global maintainers 
noting that GDB had certain `hot' areas.)
