Thanks for doing this, Li Feng.  Sadly I realized that many other
haven't done so in the past, and while I managed to resolve a number
of those this year so far, the following are still open:

The following accounts on gcc.gnu.org have primary group gcc, but
their real names do not appear in the GCC MAINTAINERS file.

Hopefully the combined wisdom on this list can help getting this
addressed (one way or the other). :-)

I can see five cases:

1) Some of these have requested gcc.gnu.org access only to be 
"bugmasters", for example they have no commits.

(Marcin does not have copyright on file, and contribute with his 
personal email).  They should add themselves at the end of MAINTAINERS, 
and Marcin should be sent the copyright form ASAP unless he was covered 
by his employer in 2005-2006.

2) some of these do not have anymore a copyright assignment since they 
were covered by their employer.

Based on LinkedIn info, Zem's current employer does not have a GCC 
copyright assignment.

These were at Red Hat, contributed only to libjava, and AFAIK neither of 
the two things is true anymore.

3) some of these are covered by their employer.  even if they are only 
contributing to a "vendor" branch, they should anyway add themselves as 
WAA on trunk.

Taras is still active, Victor is still at IBM according to LinkedIn.

4) some might fall under 2 or 3.  Actually just one; he used to be at 
QNX, couldn't find any data after 2005 on qnx.com but I'm CCing him:

5) some of these just forgot.  Individual copyrights:

Graeme left QNX back in 2006. He removed himself from the MAINTAINERS file:

Thanks---I should have checked that, sorry.
