I'd like to confirm: will the maintainers be running a bot reporting test 
results for trunk for at least one C-SKY configuration to gcc-testresults 
(daily or thereabouts), and monitoring results for regressions and 
addressing those regressions promptly?  We don't yet have such a 
requirement, but when an architecture-independent patch causes failures on 
a particular architectures, it's much better if the architecture 
maintainers raise the issue while the patch is still fresh in the author's 
mind (meaning within a few days at most of the commit) than if they only 
look at results and track down the patch causing the failure many months 
later (e.g. while reviewing test results in preparation for the following 
release).

Could you provide the proposed GCC website changes for the port 
(backends.html, readings.html, news item for index.html)?  readings.html, 
in particular, would link to the ABI and ISA documentation, while 
backends.html gives summary information about the properties of both the 
architecture and the GCC port.
