Here it is:

https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2020-December/561718.html

My understanding is that patches are neutral (no signature, no names), so
if saaadhu signs it off and commits it, all will be fine (legal and ethics).

The only ones in hurry a those who want to get "closure" (that's me: it
ends, when it's merged in main/upstream), and of course those who want to
claim the bounty (poor me, again, and possibly some others).

(As a sidenote: did you know that Bountysource takes a 10% cut, and pays
out manually "once a week depending on availability of volunteers"?
Super-strange processes, getting closure a bit hellish. See yourself:

*"Note:* The timing here can vary substantially based on volunteer
availability. If your request is still pending after a week or two please send
us a support request <supp...@bountysource.com> and poke it occasionally
until somebody can get to it"

This is worth filing an issue "Consider replacing bountysource with a
faster&cheaper alternative")

Not sure I understand: you mean that the traffic on gcc-patches is so huge,
than one needs to ping interested parties via cc?
