The problem isn't really reviewers (although I'd appreciate if anybody
who knows the low-level x86-64 bits could take a second look).

I sent an inquiriy to the FSF regarding the licensing, I got a response
that they'll take a look soon. I'll let you know when I have an answer.
These stubs are licensed "public domain", with no copyright claim, so it
is a bit out of the ordinary for us. I prefer asking to make sure we do
the right thing.

In any case, you will likely have to file a copyright assignment with
the FSF, where you accept to transfer the copyright on the contributed
code to the FSF. It would be a good idea to get that started right now,
since it can take a bit of time for them to process it. This is the
form you need to complete and send them:
