Sorry for the confusion. Since Newlib had already the concept of CPU 
Port Maintainers and GCC has CPU/OS Port Maintainers I thought that the 
OS Port Maintainers section was just missing when I looked at this file 
to add myself to Write After Approval. Joel was missing too, so it 
seemed to me that this file was not up to date in general.

I think this is clearly stated by:

"            OS Port Maintainers    (OS alphabetical order)

OS port maintainers may make changes in OS-specific directories, as
well as OS-specific portions of the build system, without approval."

My goal is to get rid of all the __rtems__ defines in shared files.
