Yeah, this would make sense. However, when I post large patches, they
are *completely* ignored. 

Also, to be completely honest, that would probably cripple the quality of
my patches. When my patches are reviewed, and people chime in, the
quality and end result of my work is significantly greater.

The real behind the scene point is that Andrew has a foot hold on GDB,
and for some reason, no one else in this community bothers to stand up
for what should be right. 
   
Significant contributions to GDB should be able to be done within a 
reasonable amount of time!
