I can't find the place that says that a maintainer has to be appointed for a new backend before its inclusion in GCC. I can't find the place that describes the procedure for appointing maintainers. Not having this clearly documentaion will easily cause confusion because people who are not maintainers but have "write after approval" permission are also listed in a file called MAINTAINERS, where they are even supposed to add themselves. -- Rask Ingemann Lambertsen
