Re: [Gdbheads] proposed change to GDB maintainership rules

[Richard Stallman]

    Voting is for a last resort conflict resolution, not
    for everyday approval.  The central point of the proposal
    is that blanket write maintainers have the authority to
    approve patches in any part of gdb, even if there is an
    area maintainer assigned to that part.

This suggests an smaller change that might address the issue just as
well: assign more area maintainers to whichever areas are not
reviewing patches fast enough.  If the GDB Maintainers make sure there
are enough area maintainers in every area, things should work
smoothly.  Some global maintainers could be chosen as secondary area
maintainers, to review patches in those areas when the main area
maintainers don't.  Some new people could also become area
maintainers.
