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, ....
