AFAIK, this is the right place to submit patches. At the moment, we have several patches almost ready; I wanna restyle them to be conform to GNU-conding-style and submit to upstream. The first patch I would like to submit is about 15 lines, but other patches will follow. AFAIK, to submit patches I have to sign the FSF copyright assignment from contributors, to avoid GPL violation in gdb. I've tried to contact the Patch Champion (reading gdb/MAINTAINERS), but I've got a 550 Unrouteable address as answer. Who can I contact about FSF papers? Thanks in advance! I'm looking forward to work with you!
