I just noticed that GDB (and binutils) are currently not accepting
DCO's like both glibc
(https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Contribution%20checklist#Copyright_and_license)
and GCC (https://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html#legal) are now accepting.
Has there been any talk about accepting DCOs for gdb and binutils? Or
has this not been brought up yet?

Thanks,
Andrew
