I appreciate the suggestions, but I'm not really sure this would be any 
less work for me or get the patches approved any quicker. First of all, 
in order to submit changes to gdb, you need to have a copyright 
assignment for gdb specifically. Even then you only have 
write-on-approval privleges - Although permission on branches is a 
little more lax, eventually all patches need to be reviewed. So I'm 
about the only one who can do this right now.

All the patches that need approval are in the gdb bug tracking database. 
In fact, of the six patches that need to be applied, two have been 
approved. Hopefully putting it in the bug database lets people know that 
things are waiting...

Keeping up with the changes is a pain, but it's easier for me to do it 
locally at least.
