I hope we can follow GCC development rule in GCC 14 too, we don't have enough

more people join the development work and review work, so I believe that
could be improved next year.



Hi Jeff:

Thanksgiving holiday is over, but I guess it's never too late to say thanks.
Thank you for joining the RISC-V world and helping review lots of patches :)
