for review of its patches, gfortran relies on a group of people who can approve patches. Unfortuntately, many of them are not active. Others, who have the capability and who have acted as de facto approvers (without anybody minding) are missing.
I think you want to link to https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=blob;f=MAINTAINERS which is the official list. — At least additionally. I note the the HTML page states "contributions will be reviewed" and not "approved" – and (nearly) any review comment is welcome, be it from an experienced maintainer or just by someone who passes by. Still, it is a bit misleading if this list includes someone who is not an official reviewer. New reviewers get added by approval of the steering committee (https://gcc.gnu.org/steering.html, typically by some existing maintainer/reviewer proposing a new one – by sending a private email to one of the SC members.) Regarding Jakub: while he is a global reviewer and very active, for Fortran, he is mostly reviewing OpenMP and – to a lesser extent – OpenACC patches and only a very few other patches. Thus, listing him under 'contributions will be reviewed' is a bit misleading. Cheers, Tobias
