New Toshiba Media Processor (mep-elf) port and maintainer

[Gerald Pfeifer]

As everyone here surely has seen, DJ Delorie has been submitting a
new port for the Toshiba Media Processor (mep-elf) and done a number
of adjustments based on feedback already.

Pending initial (technical) approval the steering committee welcomes
this new port and is happy to appoint DJ as maintainer.

Congratulations, DJ!  Please adjust the MAINTAINERS file accordingly
when the port goes in, and Happy Hacking,

Gerald

So... Can I get a global maintainer to approve it?

Ping?  Still waiting for technical approval from a global maintainer.

I thought I had sent you mail approving the changes 2 weeks ago.  Perhaps I
misremembered, or perhaps it got lost somewhere.  All of my comments about the
internals of the mep would be things to do if you desired, but as port
maintainer, I don't see that we have to apply standards set for the rest of the
compiler (if we did, probably half of the ports would be rejected for
formatting in some of the files).  I don't recall having any problems with the
machine independent changes.

I believe what was mentioned at the Summit was that where ports introduce
deprecated interfaces or possibly increase the maintainence burden for
other maintainers in the future that is something we want to avoid, and
for that reason a check of port beyond changes in common code is
beneficial.
