Write access to binutils for my employees

Write access to binutils for my employees

[Meissner, Michael]

What is the procedure to give people with existing sourceware accounts
write after approval access to binutils/bfd/gas/ld directories.  The 4
accounts are:

Assuming copyright assignments are in order, I believe any binutils
maintainer can sponsor individual accounts for access.  Since you are
such a person, consider it done.

Actually, that's the gcc method.

I believe that Nick Clifton exercises authority over binutils checkins
and has a different policy.

binutils/MAINTAINERS:

Individuals with "write after approval" have the ability to check in
changes, but they must get approval for each change from someone in
one of the above lists (blanket write or maintainers).

[It's a huge list, folks.  You know who you are.  If you have the
 *ability* to do binutils checkins, you're in this group.  Just
 remember to get approval before checking anything in.]

As far as I know, anyone with src access is welcome to sponsor
additional people with src access; but Nick obviously gets the last
word, so let's ask him :-)

Bwa ha ha - the power...

OK, my policy is that any long term, active maintainer with src access 
can sponsor a new account.  Ie the sponsor needs to know how the 
binutils development process works, and to be confident that the new 
person is also reasonably aware of this process as well.  But other than 
that I do not place any restrictions.  So Daniel, please feel free to 
sponsor people when you think they are ready.

Cheers
   Nick
