Hello,
The current ``global write maintainer'' title is something of a
misnomer. Unlike GCC, where a global write maintainer can an does
approve any patch, the GDB global write maintainers have an
understanding that they won't approve patches or directly make changes
in areas where there is already a maintainer.
Given the potential for confusion, I'm wondering anyone has a better
title? The only one I've come up with so far is ``Council of
Elders''(1) but apparently some countries don't treat their elders with
respect and, hence, the term takes on less than plesant connitations :-(
Another could be the Senate, ....
