Please don't.  Jeff wrote that before reading the rest of the
discussion.  And, at that point in the sequence of events, his comment
was totally valid.  It's unfortunate that the relationship between the
two of you has got to this point, but it will take some cooperation
from both of you to restore the situation to one in which we can make
progress together.

Jeff has just gone out of your way, by saying that other maintainers
should deal with your patch(es?).  You had already taken a step in the
right direction, by adjusting your patch to a format that is
acceptable by the community of GCC maintainers.

Let's please keep on this effort for cooperation.  I'm sure it's worth
it.
