My understanding is that gdb followed "gcc rules" here: any maintainer could make a branch provided the branch guidelines were followed. See https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/Internals%20Experimental-Branches I think the reason nobody really made branches is just because CVS made it hard. I'm hosting my personal branches on gitorious, though. That way I can opt out of the policies that I find onerous. Tom
