Ok, if you do not yet have a Sourceware account, please fill this form to get one:

https://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/pdw/ps_form.cgi

You can mention me as your sponsor.  If you already have an account, you need to contact
the Sourceware overseers mailing list so they can adjust the permissions to give you write
access to binutils-gdb.

To push a patch, it's indeed just a matter of pushing the git commit.  However, you need
to insert the ChangeLog entries in the actual ChangeLog files and amend your commit before
pushing.  Also, it's good to triple check that there is only what you intend to push in the
branch you are about to push.

Once you have write access, you can add yourself to the MAINTAINERS file, in the "write after
approval" section and then send a "FYI" patch to this list, that gives you a chance to practice.

I won't push this patch, I'll let you do it once you have your account.

Also, I see that you already have a copyright assignment files with the FSF, that's perfect.
