Your patch will get reviewed (by anybody, but normally by a
maintainer).  They may require changes to the patch.   

Only a maintainer can grant you approval to commit your patch.  The
CONTRIBUTE file in the gdb/ source directory gives a good overview.

Sometimes, patches can be missed.  I generally "ping" patches after a
week if no review has been forthcoming.  Sometimes the maintainer
work-load is very high, so some things get missed/forgotten.  It is
perfectly acceptable to "ping" a patch after a reasonable time, and you
will not be breaking any etiquette by doing so.

Finally, questions like this generally go to gdb@sourceware.org, and
patch discussion about actual patches to gdb-patches@sourceware.org.
These rules are very loosely applied, so you have done nothing wrong.  I
just thought this would be a good time to point out the other list!

Cheers

Phil
