I think we could have a GitHub org for libabigail
https://github.com/libabigail that updated itself nightly with the
sourceware remote, and then take pull requests there that are transformed
into patches and submit by some means. If Ben can walk me through what
happens behind the scenes when he does that I can probably make specific
suggestions. If there is a programmatic way to submit to the list we can
probably get GitHub content there too (the other direction). We can do
everything from posting issues to pull requests (to really whatever content
you want from the list - the GitHub APIs are amazing).

If we pull from sourceware I don't think you'd require an account Dodji,
but if you wanted to try out GitHub and have fun on there with respect to
discussions, issues, I highly recommend it :) Maybe your username would be
https://github.com/masterdodji?

Ben - ping me when you are around and we can talk about these logistics!
Maybe we could write up a concrete plan and present it to Dodji et. al.

Best,

V
