I just wanted to clarify that none of the people you mention are
actual directors or employees of the FSF. The members of the FSF may
be found at these web pages:
http://www.fsf.org/about/leadership.html
http://www.fsf.org/about/staff/
For each FSF software project there is a designated maintainer who is
responsible for handling FSF requests and concerns. For the GCC
project the designated maintainer is the GCC steering committee. The
members of the GCC steering committee are listed at
http://gcc.gnu.org/steering.html
