Hello fellow GDB developers,
I just wanted to clarify something that I felt more than I
noticed.
Although I am currently acting as the Release Manager for
GDB,
I respect the opinion of our maintainers at least as much as
mine
in terms of what is safe enough to be checked in the branch
and
what isn't.
As your Release Manager, I'm always happy to take a look at
any patch.
But I also consider that, if a maintainer (either Global
Maintainer
or Responsible Maintainer) approves a patch for the branch,
that's
good enough process for me. Maintainers should not feel
obligated
to approve or reject a patch for the branch, but should know
that
this is a decision that they can make on behalf of the
entire group.
As the Global Maintainer, I will always keep an extra look
at the
changes that go to the branch, and start a discussion if
necessary.
And of course, other contributors are always welcome to
comment
on any of these decisions too.
