I see you are already doing that for the libstdc++ mailinglist, but
you are the only moderator. Maybe you want someone as backup there?

The jit mailinglist is the same. It only has one moderator
(David). Having a second/backup one would probably be nice. Are you ok
to be added there?

(I see that both the libstdc++ and jit mailinglist just allow up to
5MB patches, which probably means they don't block any legitimate
ones, but might get a bit more spam than necessary).

It isn't a patches mailinglist, so slightly less urgent, but the
gcc-help mailinglist doesn't have any moderators. Would you be willing
to help out with that one?

Thanks,

Mark
