The top level MANTAINERS file is the canonical source to know which project owns which directory.

For the GDB project, we current have there:

 gdb/; gdbserver/; gdbsupport/; gnulib/; readline/; sim/; GDB's part of include/
         GDB: http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/
         Patches to gdb-patches@sourceware.org.
         See also gdb/MAINTAINERS and sim/MAINTAINERS.

libdecnumber is owned by GCC, so no, it does not include that dir:

 libdecnumber/
         See libiberty.  The master copy of this directory is in the GCC
         repository.
