A more traditional approach would be to use the patch tracker
<URL:http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GCC_Patch_Tracking>, just in case a reviewer is
looking for something to review. And when posting a patch, try to make it
easy for reviewers to tell that your patch is for their part of GCC. For
example, how does a reload maintainer know that
<URL:http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2007-05/msg01774.html> is a patch for
reload? I suggest adding the word "reload" somewhere on the subject line,
perhaps as [reload] if there isn't a natural way of including it on the
subject line.
