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
