In my view, anyone with write access should feel free to merge changes to shared files from the binutils-gdb tree at any time, without needing separate approval. The only exception would be if there is deliberate divergence. The only case I know of for deliberate divergence is to allow autotools versions to be updated separately in the two trees, since even updating one tree is quite involved (the last time that happened, it was a while between when Simon did the update in binutils-gdb and when I did the corresponding update for GCC; between the updates, care was needed about merging changes to auto*-related files). -- Joseph S.
