Since it sounds like an interesting project, I guess I can try to do
this, but:
 1. I have only superficial knowledge of GDB code base.
 2. The situation with my Guile embedding knowledge is the same.
 3. My lisp experience is limited to a single small patch for Magit (and
 it is in Elisp instead of Scheme).
 4. I'll be doing it in my free time which on average would amount to
 10-12 hours/week.
 5. I still have to settle Copyright Assignment with my new employer.
 (Which I hope will go well, but one never knows)
 6. I still have some -Wshadow patches to send.
I guess this makes me the worst possible candidate, but if, for some
unfathomable reason, there are no better candidates, feel free to nudge
me.

P. S. Don't want to create separate thread, so I'll just ask here: Is it
OK to apply approved -Wshadow patches, provided of course #5 up above is
resolved, or should I wait more?
