write access for: binutils

[Martin Liška]

Hi.

I have a sourceware account and I would like write access for bintuils-gdb.
Nick approved that for me.

Thanks,
Martin

I'd like to add to that, I've seen the forwarded-to address
bounce for gcc.gnu.org addresses because the downstream MX for
the forwarded-to address didn't accept sourceware/gcc.gnu.org as
an injection point, so I'd like to add my +1 to that plea.

(Details to be dug up on request.  And if you positively test
that it works today, it might still stop working tomorrow.)

That's so-far three indications against, with two from admins. ;)

It's not ideal even in a ChangeLog entry.  I can understand why people
do it, but a real e-mail address is preferred.  The point of an e-mail
address in a ChangeLog entry is so that people can send you e-mail, but
we make no promises that we will accept e-mail to @gcc.gnu.org addresses
from outside gcc.gnu.org itself.

I wouldn't switch to @sourceware.org either.

Sorry.

I only use my gcc.gnu.org one in ChangeLogs (and the MAINTAINERS file).

Hopefully that's OK? (no-one has so far indicated otherwise)

Presumably it is also more logical to use iains@sourceware.org for  
BINUTILS (than @gcc.gnu.org)?

thanks
Iain

...but, just to be clear, that doesn't mean that you should be using
either for general email, as in giving that address out to random third
parties.  That's not the intent.

gcc.gnu.org and sourceware.org are the same machine anyhow.

write access for BINUTILS

[Iain Sandoe]

Hello,

I have recently completed (c) assignment for BINUTILS and GDB,
having had svn WAA access for GCC for quite some time.

(my existing GCC id is iains@gcc.gnu.org, and the (c) reference is  
[gnu.org #483952] Iain D Sandoe)

Nick Clifton (nickc@redhat.com) has approved WAA access for BINUTILS.

Please could you arrange this?

Do I automatically get an @sourcware.org address?

If so, then that should also be redirected to the same email address  
as for GCC (the return address on this mail).

thanks,
Iain
