On hold.  I'm still discussing this with Jeff.

It would have been nicer to ask first, but that said, I am ok with a
clarification added to the definition.

For an OS maintainer, changes that add OS-specific changes to existing
shared files need approval.  That means you may
make changes to an existing RTEMS section of a header file, but you cannot
add an RTEMS section to a
header or source file that did not have such a section without approval.  I
don't want to have RTEMS stuff added all over the
place to save you having to have your own version in your directory.

It wasn't a power grab and I am sorry if it was perceived as such.
I didn't intend it to change anything in how anyone in the RTEMS
community approached newlib. We have been users for since before
1995 and have always submitted patches for review before merging.
I am pretty sure I have had the equivalent of write after approval
for 20 years.

I viewed updating that as contact information and a reflection
of existing practice. I post patches and wait for approval
(even for RTEMS specific parts) before committing.

I agree 100% that caution should be exercised when touching
common files. At the same time, sharing common source/header
files has value so it is worth posting patches and going
back and forth.

Again I apologize that more was read into that patch than
was intended.

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.

Ignore this. It was just laying around and git send-email
picked it up. It has already been discussed and merged.
