We already maintain community vendor branches for glibc (on sourceware.org) and gcc (on gnu.org), and we'd like to do the same for binutils-gdb. The idea is to create separate namespaces, i.e. ibm/gdb/7.7 and ibm/binutils/2.24. Those branches will only store patches under GPL and with a proper copyright assignment. Any comments? Objections?
